Clear Table - Thank You Zoltan !.... But...

[Joseph_Sadler]

"Üdvozöljük" Zoltan.
And thank you most kindly.
We simply used the parameters on the B8000007 BSFN incorrectly.
It is now working great.

But still one more question, if you please:
The BSFN literally deletes the records.
It does not actually CLEAR the table.
These work tables will require maintenance on the AS/400
to reorg and compress out deleted records.
Is there not a BSFN that actually "Clears" the table, prior to populating
it?

And thank you once again for helping us get B8000002 working again.

Welcome Joseph,
Thank you, especially the Hungarian greetings: "Üdvözöljük!".

In response to your "BUT" question:

I have never tried but you can try to create a "dummy" Table Conversion UBE where your table is the Output and check the "Clear Output Table before Conversion" check box on the Table Conversion Properties sheet. Do not attach any logic and input/output to this UBE just the necessary declarations that need to create a valid TC UBE. Call this TC UBE at the place of your logic where do you want to clear the table.

I am very curious to that is it working and if it is working the is it CLEARing or DELETEing, SO Please, share your results wih us. Thnx.

Regards,
Zoltán

Üdvözöljük Zoltan.

I just did wanted you to know that we have not yet had the time to try your
suggestion about the "dummy" Table Conversion UBE to clear the Z1 table.
Thanks to your help with B8000002 we have been able to go forward again.
But we will try your suggestion when time permits. I'm sure it will work.
Thank you once again. You are a valuable asset to the List.

Happy Easter weekend to all !

I don't know the original question, but the workaround that Zoltan proposed works.

The only problem is that a table conversion needs to be created for each table that is to be cleared. There is no option in the version to override the output table.

C,

If you put the TC/Clear File in debug and look at the log, is it running a BSFN that does a CLRPFM or is it doing a SQL Delete * from... or is it doing a delete on each record?

My guess - and I'll have to review it some day - is that it is doing a delete on each record.

We have a tweaked BSFN that allows us to call AS400 commands from within JDE Applications and/or UBE/TC(s). Usually I create a parent UBE that will sub-call all the TC(s) or other UBE(s) that need tables cleared. Within the parent, I call the BSFN that will send the clrpfm command to the 400.

It sounds like a good solution.

I won't have time to implement it. It'll be faster writing a CL program.

Thanks.
