QUIZ: COUNT report-item and SUBFILES

[Latimer, Richard]

As usual,  :-) , John is correct BUT one has to ask the question why the
documentation persists in telling you you can do it!

p353 of the Quiz reference for AS/400 has a little table that "outlines what
is written to the subfile for summary operations".  Te table states that for
COUNT this will be INTEGER SIZE 4.

The same little table is on p402 of the QTP manual but just try writing
'count' to a subfile!

> subfile rl1506 keep include count idy_mov idy_flt
*E* Can't find the item or file named COUNT.       

In Quiz you can report 'count' (except to a subfile) but can't do anything
else with it.

in QTP you can manipulate it but you can't 'report' it to a file or subfile


aaarrrggghhh!!

Richard Latimer
