RE: SQL scroll cursor slow performance

Glad to help,

I think you could also get rid of the following:

     C+   left outer join
     C+      (select F2FRUM, min(F2TOUM) as F2TOUM, min(F2FACT) as F2FACT
     C+        from DGF2 group by F2FRUM) DGF2
     C+     on F2FRUM=F5IUM

and just use

     C+   left outer join DGF2
     C+     on F2FRUM=F5IUM


maybe not, depends on the data.  You should be at least able to get rid of the 
MIN().


As far as the ifnull().   My personal preference is to encapsulate the required 
results set into a UDF table function, in which case I'd just leave the NULL 
values in there until I need to take them out.

This way I can reuse the UDF without losing the null values until I'm ready to, 
ie. right before the output for the user is created.
