Eric,
I got the quotes down pretty well now after reading a lot of posts (again) and
testing yesterday. Thanks.
Rob,
Well, that sure worked. I used option to include all of the fields in the group
by. Doesn't make sense, but it does work.
But, why doesn't the sum(RPREFA) work? If you could point me to the right
manual, I'd appreciate it.
Here is an example from the manual that doesn't even 'sum' but the result they
show does:
Example of report breaks in Query Management
The following SQL statement causes the report to be sorted using the values in
the JOB column.
SELECT * FROM STAFF ORDER BYJOB

Once you do a GROUP BY then the fields in the select have to be one of
three things:
- a function (like SUM, AVG, MIN, MAX...)
- included in the group by.
- omitted from the SELECT.
In other words you have to do one of three things
I - Change your select to
SELECT RPPRCL, MIN(RPYEAR), MAX(RPBTCH), MAX(RPNAME), SUM(RPREFA),
AVG(RPCHCK), SUM(RPAPYR)
- - tossing in a variety of functions as an example
II - Change your group by to include these:
SELECT RPPRCL, RPYEAR, RPBTCH, RPNAME, RPREFA, RPCHCK, sum(RPAPYR)
GROUP BY RPPRCL, RPYEAR, RPBTCH, RPNAME, RPREFA, RPCHCK
III - Drop some fields from the SELECT
SELECT RPPRCL, sum(RPAPYR)
GROUP BY RPPRCL

QMQRY QQRYSRC issues group by and order by
As many of you suggested earlier, I am trying to switch from query/400 (or
whatever it is these days) to Query Management queries.
I cannot use STRQM because the command is only in two prior release
libraries.
But, that's not the issue at the moment.
I'm following examples in the SQL Reference manual for small tests.
SELECT WORKDEPT, AVG(SALARY)
FROM EMPLOYEE
GROUP BY WORKDEPT
ORDER BY 2
and this example:
SELECT PROJNAME, PRSTDATE, PRENDATE
FROM PROJECT
ORDER BY PRENDATE DESC
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
I am calling it via a CL which worked for other examples.
This is the error I am getting - it's not consistent with the example from
the manual.
Any ideas which is the problem? thanks

Message . . . . : Column RPYEAR or expression in SELECT list not valid.
Cause . . . . . : One of the following has occurred:

-- Column name RPYEAR is specified in the SELECT clause but not in
the
GROUP BY clause.

in

-- A column or expression that is specified in the ORDER BY clause,
but
not in the SELECT clause, does not conform to the grouping rules listed
above.
Recovery . . . : Do one of the following and try the request again:
-- If a GROUP BY clause is required, make certain that all columns or
expressions in the SELECT list and ORDER BY clause are also in the
GROUP BY
clause. Do not specify the RRN, PARTITION, NODENAME, or NODENUMBER
function.
-- If a GROUP BY clause is not needed, the SELECT list and ORDER BY
clause
should not contain column functions with column names or the RRN,
PARTITION,
NODENAME, or NODENUMBER function.
