I have a scenario where I need to pick this record with the highest YR/MO
from a file.
Records are like this
RVYRMO SCHED
201301 A
201301 B
201301 C
201301 D
201303 A
201303 C
201303 D
My query doesn't pick up the record
201301 B
My query looks like this
SELECT RVYRMO , SCHED,
FROM savectl00 where RVYRMO = (select max(RVYRMO) from savectl00 )
My results are
201303 A
201303 C
201303 D
My searching seems to indicate this is how to do it, but I'm not having
any luck.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
Mike
