RE: SQL Question

Ok, how about this:

With Earliest_Correction as
(select 
  Cust#
  PO#
  min(Correction_Date_YYMMDD * 1000000 + Correction_Time HHMMSS)
  Old/New Code (O = Original)
  Original Cancel Date YYMMDD
 from
  order_correction
 group by
  Cust#
  PO#
  Old/New Code (O = Original)
  Original Cancel Date YYMMDD
)

Select
 a.cust,
 a.PO,
 coalesce(c.correction_date, a.current_cancel_date),
 b.div,
 b.brand,
 b.subbrand
From
 Order_Header a join
 Order_detail b on
  a.cust = b.cust and
  a.PO = b.PO left outer join
 Earliest_Correction c on
  a.cust = c.cust and
  a.po = c.po
Where
 b.div = 'SOME DIv'and
 b.sub-brand = 'Stuff' and
 a.cust in ('cust1','cust2') and
 coalesce(c.correction_date, a.current_cancel_date) >= start_date and
 coalesce(c.correction_date, a.current_cancel_date) <= end_date

This SQL uses something called a Common Table Expression to turn the
results of a query into a sort of virtual table (earliest_correction),
which you can then join to your other tables

Clarification.
I need to select the record from the Order Corrections file with the
earliest correction date / time for the Cust# & PO#.

Thanks to all who responded.
The problem I am attempting to solve is as follows:
I have 3 files:
Order Header - 9M records
  Cust
  PO#
  Current Cancel Date YYMMDD

Order Detail - 2M records (Many to 1 for Order Header)
  Cust#
  PO#
  Div
  Brand
  Sub-Brand

Order Corrections - 1.3M records (Many to 1 for Order Header)
  Cust#
  PO#
  Correction Date YYMMDD
  Correction Time HHMMSS
  Old/New Code (O = Original)
  Original Cancel Date YYMMDD

Given a Div, Sub-Brand, List of Customers & List of Brands and Cancel
Date Range, I need to select a list of data with Div,Cust,PO# that meet
the selection criteria that has the date range for Original Cancel Date.
I have no problem with the SQL for selecting everything except the date
range.
If there is no Order Correction record, I want to use the Current Cancel
Date for selection.
Performance is extremely important.

All suggestions are appreciated.

TIA,

Is this supposed to be a single row only?  Or could you have several
rows for the earlies date?  For now, I'll assume the second.

With Hx (Div, Acct, PO#, HxBegin) as
(    Select Division, Account, PO#, 
         Min(ChgDtCen*1000000 + ChgDt6)
    From     MyFile
    Group By Division, Account, PO#
)

Select a.* 
from     MyFile a inner join
     Hx on(a.Division=Hx.Div and 
         a.Account=Hx.Acct and
         a.PO#=Hx.PO# and
         ChgDtCen*1000000+ChgDt6=Hx.HxBegin)

hth,
Eric

I have a history file with the following fields :
Division
Account
PO#
Date Changed YYMMDD
Date Changed Century  1/0
Cancel Date 
Old / New Code  O/N
.
.
.
.

Is there a way using SQL to select the data from the record with the
oldest date for a given Division, Account & PO#.
