Members,

There is an existing Easytrive Program which is creating report for a customer whichever is passed an input file.Now the same program is run for different customers in different steps and we get report as well.Now I want to modify the program to create output files for two different customers say X & Y only and also create report.

How can we achieve this request wherein I have to create files only for X & Y ,do i need to create a new program with existing logic and adding up new output file logic or is there any other way.Basically after creating the files for X & Y i will send it through some FTP System.


For example:

You could create the file every time and just DUMMY the output file in the steps for A,B and C.

Another method is to set a PARM value you could test in your program logic to determine whether to write the OUTPUT file.

Writing programs allows us to be creative and search for the best solution.

Thanks Bill,

Can you plz give some more information how to make use of PARM Value to determine the output file.

[CraigG]

Or simply assign the output to DUMMY or NULLFILE for the steps where it isn't needed.

if parameter-passed = 'some value' then write to file a
else if parameter-passed = 'another value' then write file b
else write file c
