the trouble is the linkage between city and state -

if you're trying to find records in filea that don't exist in fileb,
here you go:

select distinct
 a.state,
 a.city
 from filea a
 where a.state||a.city not in
       (select b.state||b.city
          from fileb b
          where a.state = b.state
             and a.city = b.city)
 order by a.state, a.city

hth,

Can someone give me an example of how to do the following with SQL on
iSeries? (STRSQL)



I mean, I would like an example of the syntax to accomplish this...





Files:      LIBRARY1/FILE1,    LIBRARY2/FILE2



Fields:   FILE1.ASTATE,            FILE1.ACITY

Fields:   FILE2.XRSTATE,           FILES2.XRCITY





Request: Select the records from FILE1 where FILE1.ASTATE <>
FILE2.XRSTATE and FILE1.ACITY <> FILE2.XRCIT  and display distinct
records only  Grouped by FILE1.ASTATE, FILE1.ACITY





This seems like such a simple thing but for some reason I cannot get the
syntax right today.



Thanks!
