RE: Help with SQL exception join

Karl,
        Sorry I did not know that you had already tried RTVQMQRY (because I
was in too big a hurry to answer you inquiry) and I also did not know it
would not handle exception joins.  I ASSUMED (wrongly) that the RTVQMQRY
would handle this for you.

I prefer to use left outer joins testing on the secondary table not
returning any results.

Select * from Table1 T1 left outer join Table2 T2 on T1.itemid = T2.itemid
Where T2.itemid is null

To me this means more than exception (personal preference, same results).


Thank you,
Matt Tyler
