OK, I made an, um, ah, assumption in my response. I assumed that "crt_date"
is a field on vndmst and not item_master. If that is the case then this
isn't a correlated subquery. Current_Date is a reserved value in SQL which
holds, oddly enough, the current date. If it wasn't so then the subquery may
or may not be correlated depending on where the current_Date value came
from.

As for the join, I agree that the result would be the same, but I'm not sure
they would be executed the same. My first thought is that the original, with
the IN clause would execute faster since it is a simpler query (or more
appropriately two queries), however the outer query can't start until the
inner query finishes. However in the case of the join query with query
parallelism I believe you could get rows back faster. The answer to
performance probably also depends on which release and PTF level you're on
since IBM could, and should, change the optimizer as time goes on to get
better and better.
