Hi, James:

Common Table Expressions are a fairly recent addition to i5/OS DB2, as of V5R4.

Here are some references:
www-03.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/*db2*/pdf/rcte_olap.pdf
and
www.itjungle.com/fhg/fhg041206-story01.html
and

Regards,

Mark

Fascinating.

But I can't find any reference to them in my "DB2 for AS/400 SQL Reference" or my "DB2 for AS/400 SQL Programming" books.

At what release level were they made available?

And can they be used through CLI?
