Did you add exclusions in where clause for when cuscl is NOT null?
When searching for the records that are null--are you saying eq to ' '? Not
eq to null?
Hope this helps.

Subject: help with an SQL to fix MAPICS file
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.
