Hi Mike,
Did you try to put the " ara" section in a case statement, so something like
Select case when ARA is null then ' ' else ARA end, , acct, name
On acct = f2acct
Order by ara, acct
Thanks,
Karl.

Subject: Re: wrkqry vs sql result difference
Just for fun, Mike, you might try the RTVQMQRY command to pull the SELECT statement that corresponds to what is in the QRYDFN - it won't take care of the NULL issue but might be a handy way to get the SELECT statement that will get the same results - other than how NULL is handled, where Query gives a blank, SQL gives the hyphen.
Also, when you use RTVQMQRY, you can get messages that say what incompatibilities there might be.
Cheers
Vern

I have a query that I'm trying to convert to sql.--
The query has a join file(2) matched records with primary file Sorted
by area and account
There are a dozen or so records not in the secondary file however,
when the results display I get something like this
AREA Account
' ' 1
' ' 2
' ' 3
AREA1 10
AREA1 11
When I convert this to SQL I don't' get the same results, because of
the NULL values, but I can't figure out how to get the null converted
to a space in the query My results look like this
AREA Account
' ' 2
AREA1 10
AREA1 11
- 1
- 3
I have tried using select ifnull(ara, ' ') as area
And coalesce(ara, ' ') as area
But no luck
My query looks like this
Select ara, acct, name
>From file1 left outer join file2
On acct = f2acct
Order by ara, acct
Thanks
MIke
