  Subject: help with an SQL to fix MAPICS file
  Date: Tue, 28 Dec 2004 11:12:15 -0600
  Hopefully someone on the MAPICS group knows SQL enough to help me debug my
  problem:
  I am having someone update Customer Class fields in our LIVE environment
  to get the data correct.  We do not have the luxury of refreshing the test
  environment frequently.   I prefer not to copy the MBBFREP from the live
  environment (ZZ) to the test environment (ZD).   What I want to do is
  simply update MBBFREP (customer master) in the test environment with the
  value of the CUSCL field from the live environment, ignoring all other
  fields and handling the possible differences between the files (customers
  added or deleted in live or in test since the last refresh).
  HERE'S THE SQL I'm trying to use:
  update amflibd/mbbfrep a set a.cuscl=
    (select b.cuscl from  amflibz/mbbfrep b where a.comno=b.comno and
  a.cusno=b.cusno and
  b.comno=11)
  HERE'S THE ERROR I'm getting:
  Null values not allowed in column or variable CUSCL.
  I've tried adding exclusions in my where clause for when the CUSCL IS
  NULL, etc., but nothing I'm doing is working.  There are some records in
  ZZ that have blank in the customer class field, but when I SQL to find
  those with NULL values, I get nothing -- as in no records seem to contain
  NULL.   Am I doing somthing in my subquery that would cause the result
  rows to be empty?   Everything I've tried indicates there should be
  results.
  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
  Thanks.
