I would suggest using joins instead of MSQuery syntax.
select b.bintype, count(b.bintype)
from tablea a
join tableb b
on a.partno = b.partno
and a.plantcode = b.plantcode -- I'm assuming that this should be part of your key to join the two tables. If not then remove
join tablec c
on a.partno = c.partno
and a.plantcode = c.plantcode -- I'm assuming that this should be part of your key to join the two tables. If not then remove
where a.plantcode = '1' and c.shiptype = 'PS'
and digits(dec(a.scyy,4,0))||digits(dec(a.scmm,2,0))||digits(dec(a.scdd,2,0)) = '20110209'
group by b.bintype
Use functions digits and dec to recast the year, month and day fields so that you can keep the number of characters used in the fields so that if you want to do a date range, you could.

Hi All,
I'm trying to consolidate three tables into a single result and I'm wondering if someone can give me a few ideas....
I have these tables:
TABLE A
Plant Code
Part Number
Part Colour
Scan Date (in three integer fields: YY, MM, DD (don't ask - the legacy programmers did not know how to use timestamps!))
TABLE B
Plant Code
Part Number
Bin Type
Table C
Plant Code
Part Number
Ship Type
What I want to do is combine the values into a result that has these fields for 02/09/2011:
Bin Type
Quantity for each bin type
Quantity is a sum of each bin type for the selected plant/part #.
IE:
Plant 1, Part: 12345, Bin Type: X1
Plant 1, Part: 67711, Bin Type: X2
Plant 2, Part: 67711, Bin Type: X2
Plant 3, Part: 90009, Bin Type: X3
Plant 2, Part: 90191, Bin Type: X1
Plant 1, Part: 12345, Bin Type: X1
If the above was entered into the system, I would expect the report to be:
Plant Code | Part Number | Bin Type | Quantity
1 | 12345 | X1 | 2
1 | 67711 | X2 | 1
2 | 67711 | X2 | 1
3 | 90009 | X3 | 1
2 | 90191 | X1 | 1
However, this is not the case - I am getting an insane amount of records when I try this (I know it is incorrect because one of the bins says we brought in over three million of them in a single day!!):
select b.bintype, count(b.bintype)
from tablea a, tableb b, tablec c
where a.partno = b.partno and a.partno = c.partno
and a.plantcode = '1' and c.shiptype = 'PS'
and a.scyy||a.scmm||a.scdd = '201129'
group by b.bintype
Anyone have any idea how I can rewrite this statement so that it gives me the correct values?
Thanks!
