Add External Dictionary in Tabulation application

Post by manishcspro »

Hi, I want to add external dictionary in Tabulation application.
I want to generate a report of current month as well as the previous month in a single table.
I want to display 4 columns from active dictionary and 4 columns from external dictionary.
When I try to drag column from external dictionary, error "Dictionary Item does no belong to the dictionary used in tab spec" displays.
Please guide me...

The tabulation system allows you to tabulate items from your main dictionary and from your working storage dictionary (WS_DICT in your case).

You'll have to add those items from the external dictionary to your working storage dictionary and then use tab logic to assign the values from the external to working dictionary. It's a bit of an inconvenience, but it should fix the issue.
