1/21

STRUCTURED QUERY REPORTING

ADVANTAGES

Used for Reporting.

Used for background Sql processing

Used to migrate/ move data from legacy system to PeopleSoft system.

Used to perform file integration.

Used where programming logic is more.

This can be used as both GUI and CUI(character use interface)( GUI issupported only till 7.5 version, it is also called work bench).

COMMANDS IN SQR

They are of three types

1. Sections

2. Paragraphs

3. Other commands

1. SECTIONS

a. BEGIN-SETUP

b. BEGIN HEADING

c. BEGIN-FOOTING

d. BEGIN-PROGRAM

e. BEGIN-PROCEDURE

a. BEGIN-SETUP:

HEADING

DATA/BODY

FOOTING

SQR page


2/21

This is not mandatory

This is used to perform output page setup like page size,

margins, font size etc.

We can have only 1 setup section in SQR program

The page setup done will be applied to all output pages.

Syntax:

// THESE ARE SPACE SENSITIVE.THE CODE WILL BE TYPED IN NOTEPAD

OR WORDPAD AND SAVED AS .SQRBEGIN-SETUP

OTHER COMMANDS

END-SETUP

b. BEGIN-HEADING

This is not a mandatory section.

This is used to design heading region of O/p page.

We can have only one heading region.

The heading design will be applied to all the O/P pages.

Syntax:

BEGIN-HEADING #

// THESE ARE SPACE

SENSITIVE.THE CODE WILL BETYPED IN NOTEPAD OR

WORDPAD AND SAVED AS

.SQR

# IS USED TO SPECIFY NO.OF

LINES REQUIRED FOR

HEADING REGION.


3/21

PRINT COMMANDS

END-HEADING

c. BEGIN-FOOTING


This is used to design footing region.

We can have only 1 footing section.

The footing design will be applied to all the O/P pages.

Syntax:

BEGIN-FOOTING #

PRINT COMMANDS

END- FOOTING

d. BEGIN-PROGRAMM

This is a mandatory section in SQL program.

This is used to design data region of O/p page.

We can have only program section in SQR program

The SQR program execution starts from program section.

Syntax:


4/21

BEGIN-PROGRAM/REPORT

OTHER COMMANDS

END-PROGRAM

e. BEGIN-PROCEDURE


This is used to design data or body region on O/p page.

We can have any number of procedures

Every procedure has unique procedure name.

Procedures are functions in SQR which can be re-used.

We do not write actual coding in program section, instead we

write it in procedure section & call them in program section.

Syntax:

BEGIN-PROCEDURE

OTHER COMMANDS

END-PROCEDURE []

2. PARAGRAPHS

a. BEGIN-SELECT


5/21

This is used to retrieve data from database which is

required to generate output.

This is used to implement for looping in SQR programs.

Syntax

BEGIN-SELECT

Field1

.

From

[where]

[group by[]]

[order by]

END-SELECT

B. BEGIN-SQL

This is used to execute all SQL statements like DML,DDL,DCL

statements except select.

Syntax

BEGIN-SQL

SQL-STATEMENT

END-SQL

c. BEGIN-DOCUMENT

IF THERE MULTIPLE SQL-

STATEMENTS, USING ; AT

END OF EVERY STATEMENT.


6/21

This is used to combine static text with data from database.(EG:- while

giving offer letter or any greetings, the text is same , only the name

changes.)

Syntax

BEGIN-DOCUMENT (1,1)

OTHER COMMANDS

END-COMMANDS

SQR PROGRAMMING STRUCTURE

OTHER COMMANDS.

i) PRINT-COMMAND

This is mandatory for any SQR report.

They are of two types

Implicit: no commands required, used for printingstatic text.

Explicit: print command is required.

Formatting options

SECTIONS

PARAGRAP

OTHER

OTHER

Bold - Center - Underline

Box - Shape - Wrap

On-break

edit ( for specifying multiple formatting

options)


7/21

ON-BREAK

Used for redundancy of printing

Group headings

Group footings

Options: change,top-page,never,always,before,after,save

ON-BREAK = NEVER ( NEVER CHANGE THE VALUE)

= ALWAYS(PRINT VALUE ALWAYS)

= AFTER (USED FOR GROUP FOOTING)

SYNTAX:

IMPLICIT PRINT

&([]

EXPLICIT PRINT

PRINT ([])

()

EG: PRINT DETAIL (1,20)

ON-BREAK:

REDUNDANCY OF PRINITNG

& COUNTRY(1,1) ON-BREAK

&CITY (1,5) ON-BREAK

& EMPID(1,7)

DATA TYPES

- TEXT/ CHARACTER

- DATE

- NUMBER -> INTEGER, DECIMAL

VARIABLES

- COLUMN VARIABLES :

These are columns in database ie, fields from database tables.

These variable names will be staring with &

SQR VARIABLES :


9/21

o USER DEFINED VARIABLES

o These are program specific variables

o Text values $

o Numeric variables #

o Date variables $

Reserved variables

o System variables

o Variable name consists ofhyphen -

o Developer cannot use these names for user defined variables.

Document markers

o These are used only in BEGIN-DOCUMENT paragraph.

o These variable names start with @.

Substitution variables

oIn these variables, values are stored at start of program and

remain till end of program.

oThe variables are enclosed in { }

Scope of variable

Global ( default scope is global)

Local

TYPES OF RECORDS

TABULAR REPORTS: This is used to generate report from a single table.

MASTER DETAIL REPORT: This is to generate reports from more than one

table.

FORM REPORTS: In this report, for each and every row we will have a

separate output page.

EG: PAY SLIPS

MAILING LABELS: In this we partition the output page vertically and

generate an output .

EG: ADRESS PRINITNG

LETTERS AND DOCUMENTS: In this report we combine static text. With the

column variables.

EG: OFFER LETTERS AND RELIEVING LETTERS

CROSS TABULAR REPORTS: In this report we perform both row wise as well

as column wise calculations.

EG: FINDING ALL THE TOTALS IN BELOW TABLE

TOTAL

TA DA SALARY

TOTAL TOTAL TOTAL TOTAL


11/21

GRAPHICAL REPORTS: In this report, we represent the data in a graphical

format.

THE EXECUTABLE FILE TO RUN AN sqr PROGRAM IS sqrw.EXE.
