RE: SQL Query

Venu,

I missed your first post but here is a statement I have used.  It is cut 
from RPG source so it may not format very well.  Basically I merge 
source and object descriptions which are created using the dspobjd 
and dspfd commands.  Unmatched records will contain null values 
as indicated by a null indicator array.  The fields to select are in the 
program variable SelFld.

This first does a left join to get all records from the object description 
output file with their corresponding source if it exists.  A union is used to 
append all of the un-matched source back to this file.  The order by 
is then appended.

I have found this runs fairly fast.  About double the time it takes to run 
a strait Select over there files.

I got the results. Though not so well formatted., but I can manage and get a
report. The only difficulty is that this
query took a very long time to run!! Thx to all who helped me.
