Brian, that would be very good for us. I can suggest that we do get the sql server.
I was not aware that the CR command is going to lock any tables on the IBM i.
since we are only reading. I thought that LOCK has to do with an update process?
I can create views but i was being lazy because the View on the ibm i means you cannot use the
'Logical' file only the Physical, which means that selection logic already built in to the Logical hence used by my query is lost and has to be coded into the view. Not the end of the world but is time and testing consuming. so if I can do this with sub reports, is the preference.
the type of chart is fairly straight forward the data is basically this: where TS is 'Todays Shipped' and the RTR part are just the product types.
