Corelation names (renamed fields or files) can only be used outside the
current SUB-Select.

A Sub-Select can consist of:
SELECT
FROM
WHERE
GROUP BY
HAVING

Order By is outside the sub-select, that's why correlation names are allowed
within the order by clause, while they are not allowed in group by clauses.

Betreff: SQL question - why doesn't WHERE clause know about renamed fields?

SELECT
polog.poendt as day_entered,
ech.hedte as day_ordered
FROM xyzlib/pologpf AS polog
JOIN xyzlib/ech AS ech
ON polog.pokord = ech.hord
where day_entered > day_ordered

Column DAY_ENTERED not in specified tables.


Is this just part of SQL, or am I missing something???

These are dates, and I have created a UDF to convert numeric
to Date(not shown in above example), but I can't use the renamed fields...

thanks

Gerald
