Table selector prompt

Andres_Fuentes — Tue, 23 Feb 2021 21:31:38 GMT

Hello, good afternoon, I would like to ask for a little help with something. In the Guide server we have several tables listed by years, I have a process which analyzes the tables but what I want to achieve is that the user selects the year with a prompt and executes the analysis qwerys.

These are examples with the names of the tables that I have.

table2018

table2019

table2020

thanks for your time.

Create a custom prompt for year (ie selectedYear) and then use table&selectedYear in your code when you want to reference that table.

I'm assuming that's your question, since there isn't really a clear question in your post.

Hi,

Here is a qwery, text in red I would like it to be variable by year in the FROM. if the person enters 2020 take the table TABLE2020, if the person enters 2019 that take the table TABLE2019

PROC SQL;
CREATE TABLE WORK.QUERY_TABLETEST AS
SELECT t1.Ano,
(INPUT(t1.IdComuna,BEST32.)) AS ID_COMUNA
(SUM(t1.Col01 - t1.Col04 - t1.Col05 )) AS TOTAL
FROM TABLE2020 t1
GROUP BY
t1.Ano,
t1.IdComuna;
QUIT;

maybe I could explain myself better

Create a custom prompt for year (ie selectedYear) and then use table&selectedYear in your code when you want to reference that table.

So your code would become:

PROC SQL;
CREATE TABLE WORK.QUERY_TABLETEST AS
SELECT t1.Ano,
(INPUT(t1.IdComuna,BEST32.)) AS ID_COMUNA
(SUM(t1.Col01 - t1.Col04 - t1.Col05 )) AS TOTAL
FROM TABLE&selectedYear t1
GROUP BY
t1.Ano,
t1.IdComuna;
QUIT;

Are you familiar with Prompts in EG?
