STRUCTURED QUERY REPORTING

ADVANTAGES Used for Reporting. Used for background Sql processing Used to migrate/ move data from legacy system to PeopleSoft system. Used to perform file integration. Used where programming logic is more. This can be used as both GUI and CUI(character use interface)( GUI is supported only till 7.5 version, it is also called work bench).

COMMANDS IN SQR They are of three types 1. Sections

3. Other commands HEADING

1. SECTIONS a. BEGIN-SETUP b. BEGIN HEADING c. BEGIN-FOOTING d. BEGIN-PROGRAM e. BEGIN-PROCEDURE

DATA/BODY FOOTING

SQR page

a.

BEGIN-SETUP:

This is not mandatory

This is used to perform output page setup like page size, margins, font size etc. We can have only 1 setup section in SQR program The page setup done will be applied to all output pages.

Syntax: // THESE ARE SPACE SENSITIVE.THE CODE WILL BE TYPED IN NOTEPAD // THESE ARE SPACE OR WORDPAD AND SAVED AS .SQR BEGIN-SETUP OTHER COMMANDS END-SETUP
SENSITIVE.THE CODE WILL BE TYPED IN NOTEPAD OR WORDPAD AND SAVED AS .SQR

b. BEGIN-HEADING

This is not a mandatory section. This is used to design heading region of O/p page. We can have only one heading region. The heading design will be applied to all the O/P pages.

Syntax:

# IS USED TO SPECIFY NO.OF LINES REQUIRED FOR HEADING REGION.

BEGIN-HEADING

PRINT COMMANDS END-HEADING

c. BEGIN-FOOTING

This is not a mandatory section. This is used to design footing region. We can have only 1 footing section. The footing design will be applied to all the O/P pages.

Syntax:

BEGIN-FOOTING

PRINT COMMANDS END- FOOTING

d. BEGIN-PROGRAMM

This is a mandatory section in SQL program. This is used to design data region of O/p page. We can have only program section in SQR program The SQR program execution starts from program section.

Syntax:

BEGIN-PROGRAM/REPORT OTHER COMMANDS END-PROGRAM

e. BEGIN-PROCEDURE

This is not a mandatory section. This is used to design data or body region on O/p page. We can have any number of procedures Every procedure has unique procedure name. Procedures are functions in SQR which can be re-used. We do not write actual coding in program section, instead we write it in procedure section & call them in program section.

Syntax:

BEGIN-PROCEDURE <PROCEDURE NAME> OTHER COMMANDS END-PROCEDURE [<PROCEDURE NAME>]

2. PARAGRAPHS a. BEGIN-SELECT

 This is used to retrieve data from database which is required to generate output. This is used to implement for looping in SQR programs.

Syntax BEGIN-SELECT Field1 . From<table-list> [where<condition>] [group by[<having>]] [order by] END-SELECT B. BEGIN-SQL This is used to execute all SQL statements like DML,DDL,DCL statements except select. Syntax BEGIN-SQL SQL-STATEMENT END-SQL
IF THERE MULTIPLE SQLSTATEMENTS, USING ; AT END OF EVERY STATEMENT.

c. BEGIN-DOCUMENT

This is used to combine static text with data from database.(EG:- while giving offer letter or any greetings, the text is same , only the name changes.) Syntax BEGIN-DOCUMENT (1,1) OTHER COMMANDS END-COMMANDS

SQR PROGRAMMING STRUCTURE

SECTIONS PARAGRAP OTHER OTHER

OTHER COMMANDS.

i) PRINT-COMMAND

This is mandatory for any SQR report. They are of two types Implicit: no commands required, used for printing static text. Bold - Center - Underline Explicit: print command is required. - Wrap

Box Shape Formatting -options On-break

edit ( for specifying multiple formatting options)

ON-BREAK Used for redundancy of printing Group headings Group footings Options: change,top-page,never,always,before,after,save ON-BREAK = NEVER ( NEVER CHANGE THE VALUE) = ALWAYS(PRINT VALUE ALWAYS) = AFTER (USED FOR GROUP FOOTING)

SYNTAX: IMPLICIT PRINT &<VARIABLE NAME>(<ROWNO><COL NO>[<OPTIONS>]

EXPLICIT PRINT PRINT <STATIC TEXT> (<ROWNO><COL NO>[<LEN>]) (<OPTIONS>) EG: PRINT DETAIL (1,20)

ON-BREAK: REDUNDANCY OF PRINITNG & COUNTRY(1,1) ON-BREAK &CITY (1,5) ON-BREAK & EMPID(1,7)

DIFFERENT FILE TYPES .SQR -> SOURCE CODE FILE (EXECUTABLE FILE) .SQT-> INTERMEDIATE FILE .LIS-> LIST FILE o/p FILE .SQC-> FUNCTION LIBRARY FILE .SPF-> PORTABLE FILE FORMAT .INI-> INITIALIZATION/CONFIGURATION .MAX-> MAXIMAZATION FILE( INCREASE BUFFER FILE) .HTML .PDF .CSV .ERR -> ERROR FILE .LOG-> LOG FILE O/P FILE FORMATS

DATA TYPES
-

TEXT/ CHARACTER DATE NUMBER -> INTEGER, DECIMAL

VARIABLES COLUMN VARIABLES : These are columns in database ie, fields from database tables. These variable names will be staring with & SQR VARIABLES :

o USER DEFINED VARIABLES o These are program specific variables

Text values $ Numeric variables # Date variables $

Reserved variables o System variables

Variable name consists of hyphen - Developer cannot use these names for user defined variables.

Document markers o
o

These are used only in BEGIN-DOCUMENT paragraph. These variable names start with @.

Substitution variables oIn these variables, values are stored at start of program and remain till end of program.
o The variables are enclosed in { }

Scope of variable

Global ( default scope is global)

Local

TYPES OF RECORDS
TABULAR REPORTS: This is used to generate report from a single table. MASTER DETAIL REPORT: This is to generate reports from more than one table. FORM REPORTS: In this report, for each and every row we will have a separate output page. EG: PAY SLIPS MAILING LABELS: In this we partition the output page vertically and generate an output . EG: ADRESS PRINITNG LETTERS AND DOCUMENTS: In this report we combine static text. With the column variables. EG: OFFER LETTERS AND RELIEVING LETTERS CROSS TABULAR REPORTS: In this report we perform both row wise as well as column wise calculations. EG: FINDING ALL THE TOTALS IN BELOW TABLE TOTAL TA TOTAL DA TOTAL SALARY TOTAL TOTAL

GRAPHICAL REPORTS: In this report, we represent the data in a graphical format.

THE EXECUTABLE FILE TO RUN AN sqr PROGRAM IS sqrw.EXE. THIS IS LOCATED AT <DRIVE>:\ PEOPLETOOLS 8.X\bin\sqr\<DATABASE>\BINW\sqrw.exe

Simple program BEGIN-PROGRAM PRINT HELLO (3,10) BOLD BOX END-PROGRAM

DO COMMAND- This is used to call a program. Syntax: DO <procedure name> COMMENTING: using ! we can write single line comments. Syntax:! <comment> MOVE- This is used to move the data from one variable to the other. This is also used for typecasting # DEFINE- used to define the substitute variables. Syntax: # DEFINE <sub var name> <value> LET- this is used to assign values to variables. This is used to perform arithmetic or string operations.
