Re: Help with SQL statement

Bruce, the only reason I had plbptp in my select is because I was trying
to figure out why I am getting the multiple records.  I have removed it
but I'm still getting the same result.

If you don't want plbptp in your output, why is included in output and
grouped? It doesn't have to be in the result set just because it's a
predicate.

I have the following SQL statement.
SELECT eeun, eedpt, plbemp, eenam, plbbg1, sum(plbhrs), plbptp FROM
PRLBH, EEMP
WHERE PLBEMP = EEENO   and PLBPTP in('CO','OH', '6D','7D','OG') and
EETDT = 0 and
 EEDPT   in (select PRDPT from PROVRDPT00 where PRNAME = 'BRANDTNS')

and

PLBEDT
= 20090731
 GROUP BY PLBEMP,EENAM ,EEDPT, EEUN, PLBBG1 ,plbptp
   ORDER BY EEDPT,PLBEMP

That produces results like this
Eedpt     plbemp      eenam
plbbg1       eeun      sum(plbhrs)             PLBPTP
091         165     SMITH MICHAEL A                        091
Y      16.00         470.00      OH
091         165     SMITH MICHAEL A                        091
Y       5.50          470.00      6D
091         165     SMITH MICHAEL A                            091
Y         16.00         470.00      6C

I get 3 records because there are three different values of PLBPTP

I can't get my grouping to work so that I get 1 record that looks like

this

091   165     SMITH, MICHAEL A                        091     Y
37.50      470.00

Can you suggest a way to make this work?

Thanks

Mike
