The given SQL appears as though it may be written with the intent to effect a report rather than a set. It would seem that the GROUP BY feature of SQL, which is used to obtain a summarized set, is being used instead to represent\reflect the effective BREAK ON CHANGED VALUE feature of the Query/400 report writer. That "Report Break" feature of Query/400 is *not* the equivalent of a GROUP BY in SQL. What is needed for the QM Query, is to apply a QM FORM that produces an equivalent of the /Report Break/ feature that is found in the Qry/400 report writer. In both cases the query is a detail [not summary\summarized] set of data that is input to the report writer; the report writer summarizes at the /breaks/ on the changing values in the [collated] detail rows.

My source is (I tried using Select * which didn't work either):
SELECT RPPRCL, RPYEAR, RPBTCH, RPNAME, RPREFA, RPCHCK, RPAPYR FROM TXOVRPP WHERE RPNAME = &NAME OR RPREFA > &NEGAMT AND RPREFA < &POSAMT
OR RPPRCL = 'B018034101' GROUP BY RPPRCL ORDER BY RPPRCL <<SNIP>> SQL0122 "Column RPYEAR or expression in SELECT list not valid"
