I need some serious sql help.  I have a program that goes through our line 
item sales data and produces a report on a customer by customer basis 
detailing the summary data for the line items, IE: total sales, total cost, 
margins, etc.  However, it meeting with the sales staff last week, they want 
to know when each item was last purchased.  Frankly I have no idea 
whatsoever of how to include that in the statement.

Here is what I have right now:

C/EXEC SQL                                          
C+    DECLARE DETAILCURSOR CURSOR                   
C+    FOR SELECT                                    
C+        ILNINV#A,                                 
C+        ILNSOLDTO,                                
C+        ICMNAME,                                  
C+        ILNSTK,                                   
C+        ILNDESC,                                  
C+        SUM(ILNEPRICE),                           
C+        SUM(ILNEUAVCST),                          
C+        SUM(ILNEPRICE) - SUM(ILNEUAVCST) AS MARGIN
C+    FROM INVMARGIN                                
C+    WHERE                                         
C+        ILNINV#A = :ALPHPARM AND                     
C+        ILNINVDATE >= :SDATE AND ILNINVDATE <= :EDATE
C+    GROUP BY                                         
C+        ILNINV#A,                                    
C+        ILNSOLDTO,                                   
C+        ICMNAME,                                     
C+        ILNSTK,                                      
C+        ILNDESC                                      
C+    ORDER BY                                         
C+        ILNINV#A,  
C+        ILNSOLDTO, 
C+        MARGIN DESC
C/END-EXEC           

There is a field included in the file called ILNINVDATe which is the sale 
date, but I am only using that field thus far for record selection....any 
ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.



If you bought, it was hauled by a truck - somewhere, sometime.
