>>>Hi all,
>>>
>>>Quick question. I'm trying to scan through a bunch of my master tables to extract data for individual agencies. I'm scanning through my agency table to get "x", the current record's agency code, creating a subdir named "x" off of my "c:\mainwork\" directory to store that agency's data, then I scan through all my master tables to create new tables in my new "x" dir which only contain data for agency "x".
>>>
>>>I've got variable "x" for the name of a subdir and the code for my current record's agency in my agency table (eg. '00604'). I've got "y" for the current file name of a table I'm trying to copy and create from my tables file (eg. 'contacts').
>>>
>>>Now I'm trying to use a SELECT command to extract the data I need for each agency into their own directory. I'm trying the following, but getting errors. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
>>>
>>> SELECT * FROM &y INTO TABLE c:\mainwork\&x\&y WHERE acode=&x
>>>
>>>again, 'y'=my table name, 'x'=agency code/agency directory
>>>
>>>MTIA!!

>>I've not had much success doing things like this the way you are trying, I think I would do something like this
>>sq="SELECT * FROM &y INTO TABLE c:\temp\&x\&y WHERE acode='"+x+"'"

What kind of error are you getting? Syntax or other.
