I have a Query which works well. I have a vendor supplied,
non normalized file that contains the following, (among other stuff):
IPROD, IDESC, ICLAS, IDRAW, IUMR, IVEND, IVEN2
in which IVEND and IVEN2 are the primary and secondary
vendors of the item.
In the Query I select 3 files: IIM, AVM and AVM. I join IVEND to AVM,
and IVEN2 also with AVM and for my join type select
'2=Matched records with primary file'.
Worked great. Selected records in which:
1) IVEND and IVEN2 both had values
2) IVEND or IVEN2 had a value
3) Neither had values
Then I did a RTVQMQRY and converted this into Query Management and got:
SELECT
ALL T01.IPROD, T01.IDESC, T01.ICLAS, T01.IDRAW, T01.IUMR, T01.IVEND,
T01.IVEN2, T02.VNDNAM, T03.VNDNAM
FROM PPLDIVF/IIM T01,
PPLDIVF/AVM T02,
PPLDIVF/AVM T03
WHERE T01.IVEND = T02.VENDOR
AND T01.IVEN2 = T03.VENDOR
Alas, this only selects records in which
1) IVEND and IVEN2 both had values
How do I get around this? My ultimate goal is to CREATE VIEW
containing these fields.
I tried a 3 part UNION, but UNION is not supported by CREATE VIEW.
However the 3 part UNION worked fine for Interactive SQL.
