Then your sub-SELECT is not coded correctly.

One way to ensure it doesn't insert existing IDs would be to turn the
sub-SELECT into an EXCEPTION JOIN on QTEMP/FOO table, i.e.:
"INSERT INTO QTEMP/FOO (FLD1) SELECT DISTINCT . . . . EXCEPTION JOIN
QTEMP/FOO USING(commonIdField)"

I'm sure there are other ways to insure uniqueness, probably more fitting
depending on your situation.

Subject: Re: SQL0803: "duplicate key value specified"

Dunno where I left my brain this morning.

The complete statement IS an insert, in the form "INSERT INTO QTEMP/FOO
(FLD1) SELECT DISTINCT . . . ."
