Not sure why you have not tried your SQL in STRSQL or Run SQl Scripts,
but from your description I guess something like:

SELECT DISTINCT OrdHst.ordernbr, OrdNbr.trans
FROM OrdHst JOIN OrdNbr
ON OrdHst.ordernbr = OrdNbr.ordernbr
ORDER BY 1,2

Could return:

12345 001
12345 AAA
12345 BBB
12345 CCC
12345 PWB

Subject: use of select distinct

Can I do this as a distinct selection?

order number trans

12345 001
12345 AAA
12345 BBB
12345 PWB
12345 CCC
12345 PWB

In the program, we are reading the order history, We join with those order numbers which have an '001' above. Now we also want to display the PWB code.

But, we only want to display that one time. currently the program is including all occurances so there is an extra line.

I am thinking of creating logical view that would contain 001 and pwb only.
but how to remove the extra pwb rec?

I am thinking with a select distinct on ordernumber and trans.
can this be done?
