Re: Adding DW column dynamically

Hi Franklin;

Method#1:

  Have a look at the DW Control / DataStore's "Modify" command. You can use a CREATE statement within that to add any number of columns you want at run time. For example ...

DC.Modify("create  column( id=<an integer> tabsequence=<an integer> accelerator='<a single letter>'  ...'" )

Tip: use the DWSyntax utility to build the syntax for the Modify/Create

Method#2:

Have a look at the Syntax from SQL command to add DWO columns at run time as another alternative. For example ...

String  ERRORS

String  sql_syntax

string  presentation_str

String  dwsyntax_str

sql_syntax = "SELECT emp_id,  emp_name "

IF  Extra_Required = TRUE THEN

  sql_syntax += ", emp_salary, emp_phone "

END IF

sql_syntax += " FROM emp_data WHERE emp_data.emp_salary > 45000"

presentation_str = "style(type=grid)"

dwsyntax_str = SQLCA.SyntaxFromSQL(sql_syntax, presentation_str, ERRORS)

dw_1.Create( dwsyntax_str, ERRORS)

HTH
