Mike - This is just a hunch, but it sounds like something that has bitten me before. The problem may be your test using UOARA (I assume this is in the 2nd file?). If there is no match in the 2nd file, then this test will fail, so no unmatched records will be returned. You might want to try " . . . (UOARA=' ' OR UOARA IS NULL) . . ." , with the caveat that this will pick up all records in the 1st file that don't have a match in the 2nd and meet the UMSTS test. hth midrange-l@midrange.com writes: >Rick, >that didn't work either. it doesn't pick up the records from first file >where there is no match in the second file. > >i think in one of my many attempts i had tried this, but at this point i'm >not sure anymore. seems like this should be real simple. > > >-----Original Message----- >From: Richard B Baird [mailto:rbaird@esourceconsulting.com] >Sent: Tuesday, March 19, 2002 9:17 AM >To: midrange-l@midrange.com >Subject: QUERY TO SQL > > > >Mike, > >you were close with your 'left outer join' attempt, but you need to >separate your 'join on' from your 'where' clauses. >try this: > >SELECT UMACT, UMPRM, UMSTS, UOACT, UOARA >FROM uact left outer join > uactov > on umact = uoact >where Uoara = '' and > umsts in('AC', 'PN') > >Rick Mike Naughton Senior Programmer/Analyst Judd Wire, Inc. 124 Turnpike Road Turners Falls, MA 01376 413-863-4357 x444 mnaughton@juddwire.com
