QTP Compile error on Itanium Powerhouse 840g

You guys won't believe how fast it is, depending on your configuration. We have fiber channel disks. You'll think your programs are broken, but it's just that they are finished running!

Hi Alan:

   The scratch file that is created when you perform a sort contains all the items in the access statement.
   1) if you are not using the blob then create a view excluding the blob access the view instead.
   2) if you are using the blob  then create a view excluding the blob save your results in a subfile in a new request access the subfile use sorted instead of sort
      and link back to the table with the blob.

   We just about to go forward with our Itanium experience.

Regards,
Peter Bateman

Hello All,
I have a statement in QTP that compiles OK in Powerhouse 710g1 but fails to compile in Powerhouse 840g. The statement is:

access *CMS8020ASF                                 &
  link CBR_ID      of CMS8020ASF                   &
    to CBR_ID      of CBR_TU   in LRBDB            &
  link TU_NAME_ID  of CBR_TU                       &
    to TU_NAME_ID  of TU_NAME  in LRBDB            &
  link TU_LOCAL_ID of TU_NAME                      &
    to TU_LOCAL_ID of TU_LOCAL in LRBDB            &
  link TU_ID       of TU_LOCAL                     &
    to TU_ID       of TRADE_UNION in LRBDB

sort on CASE_ID  of CMS8020ASF                     &
     on DISP_ID  of CMS8020ASF

The error is:
*E* Cannot sort table containing blob items.

The subfile is mostly blank fields that get populated later in this request. One of the linked tables does have a field defined as BLOB.

The statement does compile in QTP 710g1 and also compiles in QUIZ 840g, just not in QTP 840g

I suspect I could create a database view of the blob-containing table and exclude the blob from the view a the blob field does not get used in the QTP run but I was hoping not to re-code too much, and that there might be options or parameters somewhere that would resolve the issue.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Hi Alan,

Since the two sort fields are in the subfile CMS8020ASF, you could sort the subfile in the request/run, where it is created, thus avoiding sorting the record complex containing the table with a blob.

Mange hilsner / With kind regards
