Prerequisites
Knowledge on the working of the ENQUIRY application
Info BASIC programming skills

Why NOFILE Enquiry ?
When information is required for more than one T24 application

(which cannot be linked in the ENQUIRY application)
When complex calculations and conditions are required and

involves more than one T24 application
No connection between Files – cannot be linked in ENQUIRY
Complex calculations that are not supported by the ENQUIRY application
File 1 File 2 File 3 File 4
Routine
4
Setting up the ENQUIRY Application
ENQUIRY : FILE.NAME Field - Mandatory
This case - Requires more than one Application
Use logical file name
Define it in STANDARD.SELECTION
No FILE.CONTROL – Validation Error in SS

Start STANDARD.SELECTION ID with NOFILE
(Will not check for FILE.CONTROL record)
Now use in Enquiry FILE.NAME
5
Setting up the ENQUIRY Application
STANDARD.SELECTION record requires a field
Create a logical field
How does the field get data?
Write a routine and attach it to the logical field
User need selection fields ?
Define “S”election type fields
6
Setting up a NOFILE Enquiry
Components of a NOFILE Enquiry are
Info BASIC routine
STANDARD.SELECTION record
ENQUIRY record
7
NOFILE Enquiry Example
A bank requires a report in the following format.
Customer Report
Date : <Today’s date> User : <User Id of the user executing the enquiry>
Customer Number : <Customer ID>
Account No Total Fwd Cr Total Fwd Dr Total Cr Int Total Dr Int
XXXXXX XXXXXX XXXXXX XXXXXX XXXXXX
A customer, at any point in time, may want to know the total of his
Forward credit movements (Money that is due to the customer at a future
date)
Forward debit movements (Money that the customer is liable to pay at a
future date)
Accrued interest that is due to the customer (total)
Accrued interest that the customer is liable to pay (total)
8
Files To Be Used
CUSTOMER.ACCOUNT – To obtain the list of accounts for a

particular customer
ACCT.ENT.FWD – To obtain the forward STMT.ENTRY Ids for an
account of a customer
STMT.ENTRY – To obtain the details of the STMT.ENTRY record
ACCR.ACCT.CR – To obtain accrued credit interest
ACCR.ACCT.DR - To obtain accrued credit interest
9
Solution 1 - Algorithm
For the customer number supplied, extract record from CUSTOMER.ACCOUNT
AC1FMAC2FMAC3FMAC4
Read ACCT.ENT.FWD with the Account ID
Extract the next ID and process

FST1FMFST2FMFST3
Read STMT.ENTRY with the STMT.ENTRY ID
AcIdFMCoCodeFMLCYAmtFMTranCodeFMCusIDFM……………….
Extract the local currency amount and check if > than 0

If > 0 then Future Cr Mov += Future Cr Mov else
Future Dr Mov += Future Dr Mov All F STMT
entries have
been
processed
10
Solution 1 - Algorithm
Read the ACCR.ACCT.CR file with the Account ID
CrIntDateFMCrNoOfDaysFMCrIntRateFMCrIntAmtFMCrIntCategFM…..TotalInterest
Total Credit Interest += Total Interest
Read the ACCR.ACCT.DR file with the Account ID
PrFstDateFMPrLstDtFMDrIntDateFMDrNoOfDaysFM..TotalInterest
Total Debit Interest += Total Interest

Get back to
next account
Concatenate values in return parameter: Account ID,Tot
Fwd Dr,Tot Fwd Cr,Total Dr Int,Tot Cr Int

STANDARD SELECTION Record
ID must start with NOFILE.xxxxx to eliminate FILE.CONTROL

validation error
Must have ROUTINE type user field defined
SELECTION type fields can be defined so that the user can

decide exactly what information he wants filtered out and
displayed
18
STANDARD SELECTION Record
Routine Type
Selection Type
19
Enquiry Set Up
Must be a valid record from

STANDARD.SELECTION
Application. In this case, must
start with NOFILE.
20
ENQUIRY Record
This is the method used to extract

the values returned from the routine
The format is
F <delim>,<start pos>,<num of pos>
21
Executing The Enquiry
Before the Enquiry results are displayed, since we have defined a selection
field, this appears for the user to input the CUSTOMER ID to be manipulated
22
Sample Output
23
Summary
A NOFILE enquiry uses a routine to access more than one

application to display information required by the user.
A STANDARD.SELECTION record must be created, with an

ID NOFILE.xxxxxxx for NOFILE enquiry to eliminate the
FILE.CONTROL validation error in T24
A STANDARD.SELECTION record created for NOFILE

enquiry purposes can have logical fields defined in it.
o Routine type fields – These fields will have user type ‘R’
o Selection type fields – These fields will have user type‘S’
24
Summary (Cont.)
Selection fields defined, can be used within the routine using the
COMMON variables D.FIELDS and D.RANGE.AND.VALUES
defined in I_ENQUIRY.COMMON
A routine written for NOFILE enquiry purposes should return one

parameter
The ENQUIRY application uses the ID of the STANDARD.

SELECTION in the FILE.NAME field
F <delim>,<start pos>,<no. of pos> - is used to extract the data

in the ENQUIRY
