Ahh,
I did not add the case to my order by. Looks like that will do it.

Thanks

Hi Mike,

Apologies, you will also need to cater for the case in the Order By clause. Did you do that?

Thanks,
Karl.

I just gave this a try, with the same results.
I also used the rtvqmqry command to get the select statement, which also gave the same results.

Thanks
MIke

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.

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
