in the main report which should (I thought) simply unload the array into the report - it reutrns "True" and thats all.

 

Plan is to eventually load the array with future records and then as records with past dates are read check to see if they are in the array and flag each with a Yes or No respectivly. - Can't even get the array to unload let alone check it against another list.

 

Choose Components > Generate Job from the main HPL window.
The Generate window appears, as Figure 115 shows.

Click Load/Unload Job in the Generate group.
Select a format for the data file in the Format Type group.
Select a name for the generated components and type it in the Generate Name text box.
This name is used for each of the components that this option creates.

Type the name of the database that you will load or unload in the Database text box or click the down arrow to select a database from the selection list.
Type the name of the table within the database in the Table text box or click the down arrow to select a table from the selection list.
Type the name of a device array in the Device text box or click the down arrow to select a device from the selection list.
If you enter the name of a device (file) instead of a device array, ipload creates a device array of the same name as the unload job and inserts the specified device into that device array.

When you specify a file instead of a device array in the Device text box, ipload makes the following assumptions about the data file:

The file is an ASCII file.
The file uses the same locale as the database.
The file uses a vertical bar (|) for the field delimiter and a new line for the record delimiter.
The fields in the data file are in the same order as the columns of the target table.
Click OK.
