FILESET

Syntax

FILESET fileunit attrib-arg1 exp1 [attrib-argN expN ...]

where attrib-arg is one of the following:

BMARGIN

LINENUM

LSIZE

ORIGIN

PAGENUM

PAGEPRG

PAGESIZE

PAGING

PAUSEATPAGEEND

TABEXPAND

TMARGIN

Parameters

fileunit

A fileunit number that is assigned to a file opened previously using a FILEOPEN statement or by an OUTFILE statement. You can set attributes only for an open file. An attribute argument specifies the file characteristic to change. The attribute must be appropriate for the fileunit specified; otherwise, Oracle OLAP returns an error. You can set several attributes in one FILESET statement by listing the attribute name and its new value in pairs.

BMARGIN

Specifies the number of blank lines that constitute the bottom margin.

LINENUM

Specifies the current line number. Resets after each page break when PAGING is on; otherwise, keeps incrementing.

LSIZE

Specifies the maximum line length for text output files, or the record length for binary input files.

ORIGIN

Specifies the type of system on which the file was created. The default value of the ORIGIN attribute reflects the system you are currently working on, so you must set ORIGIN when the file originated on a different system. The setting of ORIGIN affects how data reading statements interpret the files. For example, data reading statements use this information to decide whether bytes of binary data have to be reversed, and so forth. Table 9-8, "Values for ORIGIN Clause of FILESET" helps you make the right choice. When your system is not listed, try using PC or HP as the value of ORIGIN. When one value does not work, the other one should.

Table 9-8 Values for ORIGIN Clause of FILESET

Value	Hardware or Operating System
ALPHA	Any DEC workstation using an Alpha processor
AVMS	A DEC Alpha processor running on VM
HP	HP MPE XL
HPS700	HP Series 700 Workstation
HPS800	HP Series 800 Workstation
IBMPC	An Intel processor running DOS, Windows, or Windows N
INTEL5	Any Intel5 processor running UNIX
MIPS	Any MIPS system
MVS	IBM MVS/TSO
NTALPHA	A DEC Alpha processor running Windows NT
PC	An Intel processor running DOS, Windows, or Windows NT
RS6000	Any IBM RS6000 processor running IBM AIX
SOLARIS2	Any workstation running Solaris2
SUNOS4	Any workstation running SunOS4
VAX	VAX VMS (floating point in G format only)
VM	VM/CMS

PAGENUM

Specifies the current page number.

PAGEPRG

Specifies the OLAP DML program that produces page titles and headings when output is paged.

PAGESIZE

Specifies the number of lines on each page.

PAGING

Specifies if the output is formatted in pages which is equivalent to setting the PAGING option to YES.

PAUSEATPAGEEND

Specifies if Oracle OLAP should pause after each page.

TABEXPAND

Specifies if tab characters should be expanded. When TABEXPAND is zero, tab characters are not expanded. A value greater than 0 indicates the distance, in bytes, between tab stops. The default value of TABEXPAND is 8.

TMARGIN

Specifies the number of blank lines that constitute the top margin.

exp

An expression that contains the new value for the attribute being set. The data type of the expression must be the same as the data type of the attribute.

Examples

DEFINE fil.unit INTEGER
fil.unit = FILEOPEN('REPORT' WRITE)
FILESET fil.unit PAGING YES PAGENUM 1
