Sort scheduled items alphabetically.

I would like to see the ability to sort scheduled items alphabetically. The ability to sort by date or file type sometimes might help also.

Create hard coded column with the company name.

The company name is not in the database. Can we add it without adding it to the database?

Hi Russ,

This may depend a bit on the AS400 syntax but try this:

1. Edit your report
2. Add any character field in the report and re-label/name it to set the column heading
3. Select formula on that and enter: 'Company Name'

  1. Save the formula and see if it gives you the output you desire.

That worked well. Thank you very much. Such a simple solution.

All reports quit working. Issue with date on AS400 in YYYYMMDD format.

Russ,

It's hard to tell which part of the query the error is referring too, but I think the output of the to_date might be different than what is expected by the between statement. I would try this as the date formula:

DATE(to_date(char(HHH.HHHDTES), 'YYYYMMDD')) or CAST(to_date(char(HHH.HHHDTES), 'YYYYMMDD') as DATE)

Let us know if this helps.

Thanks,

Dennis

I am unable to get the last month criteria to work. I am also having an issue with adding a criteria for vendor number. Can we schedule another shared screen session?
