Try:

INSERT INTO NEWSYS/EMLCMP (EMLADDR, EMEMP#) SELECT XMMAIL, XMSmn1 FROM posmstp WHERE 
xmmail <> ' ' GROUP BY XMMAIL, XMSmn1

I thought I could do this, but it's not working for me. Here's my SQL
statement:

INSERT INTO NEWSYS/EMLCMP (EMLADDR, EMEMP#) SELECT DISTINCT XMMAIL,
XMSmn1 FROM posmstp WHERE xmmail <> ' '

I have records in posmstp like this:

XMMAIL     XMSMN1
A_Value      501
B_Value      123
A_Value      789
C_Value      555

I want the resultant table to be:

XMMAIL     XMSMN1
A_Value      501
B_Value      123
C_Value      555

In other words, I just want the values from the first XMMAIL record I
encounter. I though the DISTINCT would do that. What do I need to do?

TIA
