Referring to All of the Fields in a Segment

If you want to generate a report that displays all of a segment fields, you can refer to the complete segment without specifying every field. You only need to specify one field in the segment (any field will do) prefixed with the SEG. operator.

Example: Referring to All Fields in a Segment

The segment PRODS01in the GGPRODS Master File contains the PRODUCT_ID, PRODUCT_DESCRIPTION, VENDOR_CODE, VENDOR_NAME, PACKAGE_TYPE, SIZE, and UNIT_PRICE fields.

SEGMENT=PRODS01
FIELDNAME = PRODUCT_ID
FIELDNAME = PRODUCT_DESCRIPTION
FIELDNAME = VENDOR_CODE
FIELDNAME = VENDOR_NAME
FIELDNAME = PACKAGE_TYPE
FIELDNAME = SIZE
FIELDNAME = UNIT_PRICE

To write a report that includes data from every field in the segment, you can issue either of the following requests:

1. TABLE FILE GGPRODS
   PRINT PRODUCT_ID AND PRODUCT_DESCRIPTION AND VENDOR_CODE AND
    VENDOR_NAME AND PACKAGE_TYPE AND SIZE AND UNIT_PRICE
   END

2. TABLE FILE GGPRODS
   PRINT SEG.PRODUCT_ID
   END
