ABL inserting and displaying table data - progress-4gl

Question

I apologies for this being a very simple question but as a first time user of ABL open edge and im stuck. I have enter values into a table like so
METHOD PRIVATE VOID POPULATETABLE ( ):
DEFINE VARIABLE I AS INTEGER.
DO I = 0 TO 100:
CREATE TEST.
ASSIGN TEST.CUSTOMER_NAME="SMITH"
TEST.ORDER_NUMBER=I
TEST.ORDER="BOOKS"
TEST.COST=45.00
TEST.CUSTOMER_NAME = "JACKSON"
TEST.ORDER_NUMBER=I
TEST.ORDER="PAPER CLIPS"
TEST.COST=1.7.
ASSIGN TEST.CUSTOMER_NAME="JONES"
TEST.ORDER_NUMBER =I
TEST.ORDER="PENCILS"
TEST.COST=2.50
TEST.CUSTOMER_NAME = "TURNER"
TEST.ORDER_NUMBER = I
TEST.ORDER="PENS"
TEST.COST=0.7.
END.
END METHOD.
and I'm trying to display them using this
FOR EACH TEST:
DISPLAY TEST.COST TEST.CUSTOMER_NAME TEST.ORDER TEST.ORDER_NUMBER.
RETURN.
END.
However the result only shows the last row of data entered. can anyone help, I'm even unsure on whether the display function is right or the assign is.

Answer 1

The "return" in your FOR EACH is causing the code to leave the loop after the first record. Delete that statement and you'll see all the records.
FOR EACH TEST:
DISPLAY TEST.COST
TEST.CUSTOMER_NAME
TEST.ORDER
TEST.ORDER_NUMBER.
RETURN. /* this is why you're only seeing one record - */
/* get rid of this and you'll see all the records */
END.

Answer 2

I would avoid assigning an order# of 0. It's just asking to confuse people.
define variable i as integer no-undo.
do i = 1 to 100:
create test.
assign
test.order_number = i
test.customer = "smith" /* you need some way to get */
test.order = "books" /* actual data for the rest */
test.cost = random( 10, 100) /* of the fields... */
.
end.
And then review the orders with:
for each test no-lock:
display test.
end.

Answer 3

Yeah, all I needed was a create statement per each assign for each record and that worked. Thanks everyone, the working coded looks like:
CREATE TEST.
ASSIGN TEST.CUSTOMER_NAME="SMITH"
TEST.ORDER_NUMBER=I
TEST.ORDER="BOOKS"
TEST.COST=45.00.
CREATE TEST.
ASSIGN TEST.CUSTOMER_NAME = "TAYLOR"
TEST.ORDER_NUMBER=I
TEST.ORDER="PAPER CLIPS"
TEST.COST=1.7.
CREATE TEST.
ASSIGN TEST.CUSTOMER_NAME="THOMPSON"
TEST.ORDER_NUMBER =I
TEST.ORDER="PENCILS"
TEST.COST=2.50.
CREATE TEST.
ASSIGN TEST.CUSTOMER_NAME = "TURNER"
TEST.ORDER_NUMBER = 2
TEST.ORDER="PENS"
TEST.COST=0.7.
FOR EACH TEST WHERE TEST.COST > 1.3 BY TEST.ORDER_NUMBER:
DISPLAY TEST.
END.
