I'm not sure if this is what you arte looking for but you could create a
new file with the afile keys and the totals with the following:
SELECT A.FIELD1, A.FIELD2, A.FIELD3,
A.FIELD4, A.FIELD5, (
case when a.field6 = ' ' then 1 else 0 end +
case when a.field7 = ' ' then 1 else 0 end +
case when a.field8 = ' ' then 1 else 0 end +
case when a.field9 = ' ' then 1 else 0 end +
case when a.field10= ' ' then 1 else 0 end +
case when a.field11= ' ' then 1 else 0 end +
case when a.field12= ' ' then 1 else 0 end +
case when a.field13= ' ' then 1 else 0 end +
case when a.field14= ' ' then 1 else 0 end +
case when a.field15= ' ' then 1 else 0 end) as fieldcount
FROM afile a join bfile b
on a.field1 = b.field1 and a.field2 = b.field2 and a.field3 =
b.field3 and a.field4 = b.field4 and a.field5 = b.field5

Subject: SQL needed for this tricky problem
Hello All,
My problem is as below:
====================================================================
When
Field1 of AFILE Equal to Field1 of BFILE
Field2 of AFILE Equal to Field2 of BFILE
Field3 of AFILE Equal to Field3 of BFILE
Field4 of AFILE Equal to Field4 of BFILE
Field5 of AFILE Equal to Field5 of BFILE
I will have to see if there are any entries in
Field6,Field7,Field8,Field9,Field10,Field11,Field12,Field13,Field14,Fiel
d15 of BFILE...
(All these 10 fields from Field6 to Field15 are 1 char defined) If
there are entries in all 10 fields then the count is 10 If there are
entries in 9 fields then the count is 9 If there are entries in 8 fields
then the count is 8 If there are entries in 7 fields then the count is 7
If there are entries in 6 fields then the count is 6 If there are
entries in 5 fields then the count is 5 If there are entries in 4 fields
then the count is 4 If there are entries in 3 fields then the count is 3
If there are entries in 2 fields then the count is 2 If there are
entries in 1 fields then the count is 1 If there are no entries in any
of the fields then the count is 0...
what I want to do is
I want to insert this count field in the AFILE when each record of AFILE
is equal to its matching record in BFILE based on the below conditions
Field1 of AFILE Equal to Field1 of BFILE
Field2 of AFILE Equal to Field2 of BFILE
Field3 of AFILE Equal to Field3 of BFILE
Field4 of AFILE Equal to Field4 of BFILE
Field5 of AFILE Equal to Field5 of BFILE
All help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Donna.
