Have you tried to reverse the file order in the second query?

You will no only receive one recors as the first PF has 1 record. Having
said that, I think it strange it will only return one record, as the second
PF has three records with the same sequence number and i would think all
three records should be joined. (But then I did not test this.)

With regards,

I'm attempting to create an outer join in query management. Here is the
statement

SELECT BRNDETLF."SEQUENCE", BRNDETLF.DESCRIPT,
BRNDETLF.SEL1, BRNDETLF2."SEQUENCE",
BRNDETLF2.DESCRIPT, BRNDETLF2.SEL1
FROM BRNDETLF LEFT OUTER JOIN BRNDETLF2
ON BRNDETLF."SEQUENCE" = BRNDETLF2."SEQUENCE"
UNION
SELECT BRNDETLF."SEQUENCE", BRNDETLF.DESCRIPT,
BRNDETLF.SEL1, BRNDETLF2."SEQUENCE",
BRNDETLF2.DESCRIPT, BRNDETLF2.SEL1
FROM BRNDETLF EXCEPTION JOIN BRNDETLF2
ON BRNDETLF."SEQUENCE" = BRNDETLF2."SEQUENCE"

I run strqmqry and output the results to an outfile. File BRNDETLF has one
record with the following data:
Sequence = 01 , Descript = 'Bundled Twenties' , Sel1 = 600.00
File BRNDETLF2 has three records with the following data:
Record 1 Sequence = 01, Descript = 'Loose Twenties', Sel1 = 100.00
Record 2 Sequence = 01, Descript = 'Loose Twenties' , Sel1 = 60.00
Record 3 Sequence = 01, Descript = 'Loose Twenties' , Sel1 = 180.00

When I run the query it only creates one record in the outfile :
Sequence = 01, Descript = 'Bundled Twenties', Sel1 = 600.00, Sequence2 =
01, Descript2 = 'Bundled Twenties'
Sel2 = 100.00

What I'm trying to accomplish is that it would output three records. The
first like the record it's already creating and then
two others with null values in Sequence, Descript, and Sel1 and with the
values from BRNDETLF2 in Sequence2, Descript2 and
Sel2. Also, if there are cases where records exist in BRNDETLF but not in
BRNDETLF2 I want records output with values from brndetlf going to the
first three fields and null values going to the last three in my outfile.

Can someone help get me squared away on this?
