Problem with Qtp/Subfile/Item...Minimum

[Hamilton, Allison]

You might try turning on the QTP Tracer to see if it gives you any more
helpful information.  If it is a timing problem, that should allow you to
see it.  I believe that the Tracer is in 8.19C5, but to check do a SET ? and
you should see TRACE as one of the options, if it is there.  It will
generate quite a bit of output!  You might want to redirect standard output
to a file.  You must use it with a source version of the QTP code, not a
compiled version.

The simplest form would be to just SET TRACE - and that will trace the files
and items as they are processed. SET NOTRACE will turn it off again. (SHOW
TRACE shows you what is set.)

Can someone tell me why the following bit of Qtp code does not work?

> Access detail-set                                                  &
>   Link key-item              Of detail-set                         &
>     To key-item              Of master-set                         &
> 
> Sort                                                               &
>   On key-item                Of detail-set  
> 
> Temporary t-RETURN-DATE      Character *8
>      Item t-RETURN-DATE      Minimum DATE-GOODS-REC Of detail-set  &
>                              Reset At key-item Of detail-set
>
> Subfile CM000EX3             At key-item Of detail-set             &
>                              Keep                                  &
>   Include                                                          &
>     key-item                 Of detail-set,                        &
>     t-RETURN-DATE                                                  &
>   Index key-item             UNIQUE                                &
>     Segment key-item  

The item DATE-GOODS-REC is a char 8 field and holds the date in CCYYMMDD
format. Some records do not have a date but most record do.

The value returned in the subfile item t-RETURN-DATE is 'FF FF FF FF 20 20
20 20' in hex. That is 4 high-value characters and 4 space characters.

We're running 819C5 under MPE/iX 6.0 if that helps anybody.

Regards,
Robert
