FOCUS

-----------------------------------------------------------------FOCBEGIN/FOCSTART
- A CLIST that allocates all the files necessary
to run Focus. Only need to do it once during
a TSO session.

- Use after you have used FOCBEGIN during a
TSO session.

ONLINE FILE ALLOCATION

In order for focus to read information from a data file it is necessary to first tell FOCUS
where the data resides and give a description of how the data is arranged on the file. This
is done with a file allocation statement.
The first kind of file allocation we need to talk about is the on-line file allocation. The
format of the on-line file allocation is as follows:
*************************************************************
>> TSO ALLOC F(SCHEMA) DS('DATA.SET.NAME') SHR
*************************************************************
An EXAMPLE of a typical allocate statement is the following.
>> TSO ALLOC F(CONAMES) DS('INFOCTR.FOCFILE.CONAMES') SHR
After the allocation has been done you can now do a TABLE FILE CONAMES' and print any field
names in the schema.
***
You can use the ALLOCATE in 'FOCUS.PROD.EXEC'Browse the dataset for the allocate CONMALLC

NEW DATE FORMATS

The new DATE formats make it possible to:
Sort by date regardless of display format
Define date components such as year, month, quarter, etc. and extract them easily from
date fields
Do arithmetic with dates and date comparisons without using special date handling
functions
Reference dates in a natural way, such as JAN 1 1985, without regard to formats
Automatically validate dates in transactions
Convert dates easily to other formats

FOR EXAMPLE:
BY ORDERDATE
Sorts dates into date sequence regardless of the display format
DAYS/I4=SHIPDATE-ORDERDATE;
Computes the elapsed number of days between two dates
regardless of their display format.
DAYS/I4=SHIPDATE-'JAN 1 1985'; Computes the elapsed number of days regardless of the
Display format
SHIPMONTH/MONTH=SHIPDATE;
Extracts the month from SHIPDATE
For example if SHIPDATE is December 24,1985, SHIPMONTH IS
12, but would be printed as "DECEMBER".
SHIPMONTH/M=SHIPMONTH + 3;
Always produces a valid month value in the range 1 to 12.
For example, if the value of SHIPMONTH is 12 then
SHIPMONTH + 3 is 3.
SHIPMONTH/YM=SHIPDATE;
The year and month are extracted from shipdate.
In basic date formats, the components are separated by /.The separating character can be
changed.
EXAMPLES:
FORMAT
DISPLAY

SUM can generate ONE RECORD FROM MANY while
PRINT copies EACH individual RECORD.

JOIN COMMAND
THE FORMAT OF A SIMPLE JOIN COMMAND
-------------------------------------*************************************************************
JOIN field1 in HOSTFILE TO (ALL) field2 in CRFILE as JOINNAME
*************************************************************
Join command is very similar to a match, however it is much more efficient.
Join does not create a file like match. Just lets you use two files as one.
The format for the two fields specified in the JOIN must be the same.
Up to 16 JOIN commands may be issued for any combination of files.
Join commands are active for current FOCUS session or until you release the connection.
FIELD2 must be indexed. (FIELDTYPE=I)
Join does not always work with sequential files.
The first file is called the 'HOST FILE' and the other is the 'CROSS-REFERENCED FILE'.
Each time FOCUS retrieves a record from the HOST FILE. It then retrieves the records in
the CROSS-REFERENCED FILE containing this value.
Join releases all pre-existing DEFINEd fields for the file being joined.
+-----------------------------------+
|
Check File(filename) Picture
|
+-----------------------------------+
shows the actual structure of the join.

|
BY COID NOPRINT
|
|
BY ACCOUNT_NO
|
|
END
|
+---------------------------------------------------------------------+
DEFINE-based JOIN
----------------In addition to the simple JOIN command, another JOIN syntax is the DEFINE-based JOIN which
allows the field in the host file to be created by a DEFINE statement. The corresponding
field in the cross-referenced file must be a real database field.
The DEFINE command must bE BETWEEN THE JOIN AND TABLE. JOIN'S CLEAR defines. The JOIN
command must fit on one line.
THE FORMAT OF THE DEFINE-based JOIN
----------------------------------************************************************************************
JOIN deffld WITH dbfld in HOSTFILE TO (ALL) field2 in CRFILE as JOINNAME
************************************************************************
EXAMPLE OF THE DEFINED-based JOIN
--------------------------------JOIN ID_NUM WITH CITY IN SALES TO EMP_ID IN EDUCFILE AS SALEDUC
DEFINE FILE SALES
