But, me, I'd avoid the where clause for a couple of reasons. One, it flags you as someone who only learned SQL by taking Query/400 and doing a RTVQMQRY against it. Two, you can do stuff with JOIN that Query/400 explains to you, but warns you with ANZQMQRY that they won't export correctly with RTVQMQRY - like left outer join, (or as Query calls it:

FYI... the "JOIN" keyword is a relatively new guy. When I learned DB2 SQL queries from the classic Date's database book in the 80's, "JOIN" was not there yet.
