Of course the problem is that the XMSMN1 field isn't distint. You'll
have to use MIN or SUM on it.
INSERT INTO NEWSYS/EMLCMP (EMLADDR, EMEMP#) SELECT XMMAIL, MIN(XMSmn1)
FROM posmstp WHERE xmmail <> ' ' GROUP BY XMMAIL, XMSmn1

I thought I could do this, but it's not working for me. Here's my SQL
statement:
INSERT INTO NEWSYS/EMLCMP (EMLADDR, EMEMP#) SELECT DISTINCT XMMAIL,
XMSmn1 FROM posmstp WHERE xmmail <> ' '
I have records in posmstp like this:
XMMAIL XMSMN1
A_Value 501
B_Value 123
A_Value 789
C_Value 555
I want the resultant table to be:
XMMAIL XMSMN1
A_Value 501
B_Value 123
C_Value 555
In other words, I just want the values from the first XMMAIL record I
encounter. I though the DISTINCT would do that. What do I need to do?
