Concatenate with Deleted Case ID

[YFT_CBSD]

Hi all,

how can i do the sample below:
So i have 6 csdbe files, 1 csdbe file = 1 case inside

001.csdbe
002.csdbe
003.csdbe
004.csdbe
005.csdbe
006.csdbe the case is deleted it has a X mark in the data viewer.

So when concatenating it should flag in the .lst file to say that 006.csdbe has deleted cases, using bch application.

Thanks.

If you are interested in knowing if a file has deleted cases (for the purpose of outputting text to the listing file), you can do something like this:

numeric non_deleted_cases = countcases(DICT_NAME); // defaults to CaseStatus.NotDeleted
numeric all_cases = countcases(DICT_NAME(CaseStatus.All));

if non_deleted_cases <> all_cases then
    errmsg("%d deleted cases in %s", all_cases - non_deleted_cases, filename(DICT_NAME));
endif;

Thanks, i noticed something for example:

001.csdbe
002.csdbe
006.csdbe (case is deleted)

It flags the deleted cases in

But if the order is :

006.csdbe (case is deleted)
001.csdbe
002.csdbe

It doesnt flag.

What do you mean when you say "it doesn't flag"?

I created a test file and I see the deleted case whether it is the first or a later case.

If you're running a batch application, make sure that you set the CaseStatus to All in the application preproc:

PROC APP_FF

preproc

    set access(DICT_NAME, CaseStatus.All);

It's working if the input file is concatenated, but in my case it is in 1case per csdbe files(multiple csdbe files), please help. Thanks

Can you share your batch application so that we can look at what exactly you are trying to do?
