RE: AS400 Query Question -- MAPICS-L

Nandagopal,

I agree with Dale. I am using SQLThing (www.SQLThing.com) and Access to do
certain SQL queries against the MAPICS files, even though I started with
Query/400. (Still use Query/400, of course.) Good luck.

Nandagopal,

You will be quite disappointed in how limited Query/400 is if you are used
to SQL.  I will do this query for you and e-mail the print definition
directly to your listed e-mail account.  It's actually a very simple query
(easy for me to say!)

I would recommend looking at NGS-IQ as a supplement to using Query/400 -
it's what I feel that Query/400 should have "grown up" into.  And no, I
don't work for NGS, I just am a user that uses both.

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
