RE: Trick math for Query 400

As many has mentioned, QM would be a better choice fo this.  Below is a simple 
statement to do it.

select (case  when a < b then 0 else a-b end) as c from myfile

Subject: Trick math for Query 400


I need a simple report to come out of Query but one column must not go
negative.    In the define results screen this field is defined as a simple
C = A - B but we do not want C to be negative. We would like to have a zero
instead.   A and B are both 7 digit numbers with no decimals.

Is there any trick math that would do this?

Thanks,
Greg
