Example 1: Write an RDML program to read a regional sales file and print details of each record read.
DEF_LINE NAME(#DETAIL) FIELDS(#REGION #PRODES #VALUE)
SELECT FIELDS(#DETAIL) FROM_FILE(SALEHIST)
PRINT LINE(#DETAIL)
ENDSELECT
ENDPRINT
Example 2: Write an RDML program to read a regional sales file, print details of each record read and produce regional subtotals.
DEF_LINE NAME(#DETAIL) FIELDS(#REGION #PRODES #VALUE)
DEF_BREAK NAME(#REGTOT) FIELDS(#REGVAL) TRIGGER_BY(#REGION)
SELECT FIELDS(#DETAIL) FROM_FILE(SALEHIST)
KEEP_TOTAL OF_FIELD(#VALUE) IN_FIELD(#REGVAL) BY_FIELD(#REGION)
PRINT LINE(#DETAIL)
ENDSELECT
ENDPRINT
Example 3: Write an RDML program to read a regional sales file and print the regional subtotals only (ie: a summary report).
DEF_BREAK NAME(#REGTOT) FIELDS(#REGION #REGVAL) TRIGGER_BY(#REGION)
SELECT FIELDS(#REGION #VALUE) FROM_FILE(SALEHIST)
KEEP_TOTAL OF_FIELD(#VALUE) IN_FIELD(#REGVAL) BY_FIELD(#REGION)
PRINT LINE(*BREAKS)
ENDSELECT
ENDPRINT
