RE: AS400 Query Question

Why not use the AS400 SQL?  Just enter STRSQL from a command line.

Subject: AS400 Query Question


Hello Group,
I'm new to MAPICS and AS400 queries, but do have experience writing SQL
queries. I've been working on our MAPICS implementation for the last 4
months and this is the first time I'm writing AS400 queries. Basically, I'm
having trouble trying to incorporate GROUP BY aggregate function in an AS400
query. I guess I haven't defined my report summary functions and report
breaks the right way. I would like to query ITEMBL file to get a total
on-hand inventory value for all warehouses. The SQL version of this would
look like this:

SELECT HOUSE, Sum(AVCST* MOHTQ) AS INVENTORY_VALUE
FROM ITEMBL
GROUP BY HOUSE

HOUSE = Warehouse
AVCST = Avg Unit Cost
MOHTQ = On Hand Total Quantity

I would like my report to look like this:

Warehouse       INVENTORY_VALUE
PBC             $107,117.41
PBD             $157,116.41
PBX             $257,116.41

Any suggestions on how to accomplish the above will be appreciated. Could
you also point me towards good online documentation/books on AS400 queries.

Thanks,
Nandu
