Yes, CASE is the correct way to handle this:

select sum(case when QTY=0 then HOURS else HOURS*QTY end)
from file

Sent by: "RPG400-L" <rpg400-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx>



I need to condition a SUM in an embedded SQL statement where we have an
HOURS field and a QTY field in the file. If the QTY field is great than
zero I need to SUM based on the HOURS * QTY. If the QTY field is zero then
I need to SUM just the HOURS field. I'm not sure how to code this. I've
seen CASE but not sure if this is the place for this or even how to code it
correctly.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
