Knowledge on the working of the ENQUIRY

application

Info BASIC programming skills

Prerequisites


4/25

07 January 2005

When information is required for more than one T24

application (which cannot be linked in the ENQUIRY

application) When complex calculations and conditions are

required and involves more than one T24 application

Why NOFILE Enquiry ?

File 1 File 2 File 3 File 4

Routine

No connection between Files cannot be linked in ENQUIRYComplex calculations that are not supported by the ENQUIRY application


5/25

Setting up the ENQUIRY Application

ENQUIRY : FILE.NAME Field - Mandatory

This case - Requires more than one Application

Use logical file name

Define it in STANDARD.SELECTION

No FILE.CONTROL Validation Error in SS

Start STANDARD.SELECTION ID with NOFILE(Will not check for FILE.CONTROL record)

Now use in Enquiry FILE.NAME


6/2507 January 2005

Setting up the ENQUIRY Application

STANDARD.SELECTION record requires a field

Create a logical field

How does the field get data?

Write a routine and attach it to the logical field

User need selection fields ?

Define Selection type fields

Components of a NOFILE Enquiry are

Info BASIC routine

Setting up a NOFILE Enquiry

A bank requires a report in the following format.

Customer Report

Date : User :

Customer Number :

Account No Total Fwd Cr Total Fwd Dr Total Cr Int Total Dr Int

XXXXXX XXXXXX XXXXXX XXXXXX XXXXXX



A customer, at any point in time, may want to know the total of his

Forward credit movements (Money that is due to the customer at a future date)

Forward debit movements (Money that the customer is liable to pay at a futuredate)

Accrued interest that is due to the customer (total)

Accrued interest that the customer is liable to pay (total)

NOFILE Enquiry Example


9/2507 January 2005

CUSTOMER.ACCOUNT To obtain the list of accounts for a

particular customer

ACCT.ENT.FWD To obtain the forward STMT.ENTRY Ids for

an account of a customer

STMT.ENTRY To obtain the details of the STMT.ENTRY

record

ACCR.ACCT.CR To obtain accrued credit interest

ACCR.ACCT.DR - To obtain accrued credit interest

Files To Be Used


10/2507 January 2005

Solution 1 - Algorithm

For the customer number supplied, extract record from CUSTOMER.ACCOUNT

AC1FMAC2FMAC3FMAC4

Read ACCT.ENT.FWD with the Account ID

FST1FMFST2FMFST3

Read STMT.ENTRY with the STMT.ENTRY ID

AcIdFMCoCodeFMLCYAmtFMTranCodeFMCusIDFM.

Extract the local currency amount and check if > than 0

If > 0 then Future Cr Mov += Future Cr Mov else

Future Dr Mov += Future Dr Mov

Extract the next ID and process

All F STMT

entries have

beenprocessed


11/2507 January 2005

Solution 1 - Algorithm

Read the ACCR.ACCT.CR file with the Account ID

CrIntDateFMCrNoOfDaysFMCrIntRateFMCrIntAmtFMCrIntCategFM..TotalInterest

Total Credit Interest += Total Interest

Read the ACCR.ACCT.DR file with the Account ID

PrFstDateFMPrLstDtFMDrIntDateFMDrNoOfDaysFM..TotalInterest

Total Debit Interest += Total Interest

Get back to

next accountConcatenate values in return parameter: Account ID,Tot

Fwd Dr,Tot Fwd Cr,Total Dr Int,Tot Cr Int

FILE.CONTROL validation error

Must have ROUTINE type user field defined SELECTION type fields can be defined so that the

Using this we can access eachline of information stored in the

return variable. The values

are separated by * and each

set is separated by an FM

This is the method used to extract

the values returned from the routine

Summary

A NOFILE enquiry uses a routine to access more than one

application to display information required by the user.

A STANDARD.SELECTION record must be created, withan ID NOFILE.xxxxxxx for NOFILE enquiry to eliminate

the FILE.CONTROL validation error in T24

A STANDARD.SELECTION record created for NOFILE

enquiry purposes can have logical fields defined in it.

Routine type fields These fields will have user type R

Selection type fields These fields will have user typeS

Summary (Cont.)

Selection fields defined, can be used within the routineusing the COMMON variables D.FIELDS andD.RANGE.AND.VALUES defined in

I_ENQUIRY.COMMON

A routine written for NOFILE enquiry purposes shouldreturn one parameter

The ENQUIRY application uses the ID of the STANDARD.SELECTION in the FILE.NAME field

F ,, - is used to extract thedata in the ENQUIRY
