RE: iSeries and Microsoft Query (Excel)

Bill,

Adding "as" to denote the derived field name yields the same results:
prod/tran not found in specified tables. Elvis Budimlic suggested
removing the AS qualifier. My original queries used them.

Again, the problem is not using a CTE itself, as I can select * from the
CTE. The problem is using derived columns in the CTE and referencing
them in the final select statement.

Thanks for the suggestion though.

Lloyd,

I use MSQuery all the time and have used derived tables a number of
times.

Sorry about PRODO. Following your suggestion, starting with:

with temp as
(select nxkjdt, nxjpt2, sum(NXS7FQ) tran
from VNGDBDTA.DBNXCPP
where nxkjdt between 1070301 and 1070307
group by nxkjdt, nxjpt2),
temp2 as
(select dmatdt, dmekcd, sum(dmgzfq) prod
from VNGDBDTA.DBDMREP
where dmqwtx = 'SFR' and dmcdcd = ';MRCT' and
dmatdt between 1070301 and 1070307
group by dmatdt, dmekcd
)
select dmatdt, dmekcd, prod, tran
from temp2
left outer join temp on dmatdt = nxkjdt and dmekcd = nxjpt2
order by 1,2

I think the answer is the same for all of your examples:

Change this line:
select nxkjdt, nxjpt2, sum(NXS7FQ) tran
        to
select nxkjdt, nxjpt2, sum(NXS7FQ) as tran

and you should be fine.
