HELPLIB.HLB  —  RDML72  Statements  MISSING  Examples
    The following programs demonstrate the use of the MISSING and
    NOT MISSING conditional expressions. These programs form a record
    stream containing the records in the COLLEGES relation that have
    nothing stored in the field STATE, but do have a college code
    stored in the field COLLEGE_CODE. Each record in the COLLEGES
    relation is tested for the above condition; if a record meets the
    condition these programs print an informational message and the
    college code of the newest record added to the record stream.

1  –  C Example

    #include <stdio.h>
    DATABASE PERS = FILENAME "PERSONNEL";

    main()
    {
    READY PERS;
    START_TRANSACTION READ_WRITE;

    FOR C IN COLLEGES
       WITH C.STATE MISSING
       AND C.COLLEGE_CODE NOT MISSING;
          printf ("State Missing for COLLEGE:  %s\n", C.COLLEGE_CODE);
    END_FOR;

    COMMIT;
    FINISH;
    }

    DATABASE PERS = FILENAME 'PERSONNEL';

    begin
    READY PERS;
    START_TRANSACTION READ_WRITE;

       WITH C.STATE MISSING
       AND C.COLLEGE_CODE NOT MISSING;
          writeln ('State Missing for COLLEGE:', C.COLLEGE_CODE);
