VBScript Coding Syntax with SQL query
Posted on 2009-05-13
(Code1 Question) Am using file.write line to create row header to output results of sql query to csv file.
In the code, I need to separate the line for readability. Or can I use a str variable instead? How would I do that?
(Code2 Question) Am using SQL=SQL & to separate sql query in VBScript. Can I use a str variable instead? How would I do that?

'Code1 Sample:
file.WriteLine ""CLASS"",""SCHOOLNUM"",""SCHLNAME"",""SECTION"",""COURSE"",""TITLE"" "
'would like to separate it: into 2 lines or use a variable. (such as strheader=?)
'Code2 Sample:
SQL="select blah, blah, blah, blah....."
SQL=SQL & "blah, blah, blah....."
Can I use a variable instead? (such as strsql=?)

First question, to seperate into two lines, can you not just do two write lines?
file.WriteLine ""CLASS"",""SCHOOLNUM"",""
file.WriteLine"SECTION"","
SQL is already a variable!
'Code2 Sample:
SQL="select blah, blah, blah, blah....."
SQL=SQL & "blah, blah, blah....."
Can I use a variable instead? (such as strsql=?)
file.WriteLine ""CLASS"",""SCHOOLNUM"",""

(1) Will separating into file.writeline 2x keep the entire row intact in the file?
(2) I understand about #2, but can't I declare
strsql="Select blah, blah, blah from table"
then use the strsql instead of all the lines of SQL=SQL& I would need with a big query?
Be patient with me; I'm a novice in this area. Thanks

(1) Ok, you mean in code you want to write in two lines but show as one line when written?
use .write instead of .writeline
file.write
then end with
file.writeline
(2) Do you mean you want to append a string?
use .write instead of .writeline
file.write
then end with
file.writeline

String concatenation can be done using & as you have done
strsql = "xxxx"
strsql = strsql & "yyyy"
Regarding (1)
And example
I use chr(34) to write a double quote
f.Write chr(34) & "CLASS" & chr(34) & "," & chr(34) & "SCHOOLNUM" & chr(34) & "," &
chr(34)
f.write "SCHLNAME" & chr(34) & "," & "SECTION" & chr(34) & "," & chr(34)
f.writeline "COURSE" & chr(34) & "," & chr(34) & "TITLE"
strsql = "xxxx"
strsql = strsql & "yyyy"
