Re: [nv-l] FETCH statements in Windows tecad_nv6k.cds

[John M Gatrell <John.Gatrell@uk.ibm.com>]

Hi Jane, I hit the same problem.
The FETCH statement gains you nothing,
as it's just hunting for a substring in an existing parameter.
As far as I can tell, only Events rather
than Traps have the fields available.
My getround was to hard code the ip
address in the SELECT statement. Then repeat the entire paragraph for the
next IP address.
After the customised section, I repeated
the entire stanza but without the ip address,
so as to give a generic message for
all other IP addresses.
From memory something like:
SELECT
4: $ADAPTER_ID = "10.11.12.13";
MAP
nvhostname = "sys1.uk.com";
