Re: SQL - Using result fields in a calculation

What you have to understand is that a CTE does not give you a value, it gives you a (virtual) table. I take it that npdamt is not a column in dktnphpf, so it has to come from a CTE. So either you name the second column in cteAmount npdamt (in the with clause you name the fields of the virtual table), or you use amount (or better: ifnull(amount, 0)) in the final query.

To test it I had to change names to things known in our database and
then I then I had to change it back to your names.

If I paste this, I get a an error because there is a bracket too many on
the fourth line. If I remove that, I get no more syntax error (just that
the file does not exist).

And it may not look easier at first sight, but it takes some time to let
this CTE syntax sink in. Once you get the hang of it, you'll see the
possibilities.

Oh, there is something missing in the second ifnull; should be

With cteAmount (ntrnpd, amount)
as (select ntrnpd, sum(ntramt) from dktntrpf where ntrtty = 'UDD'
group by ntrnpd, ntrtty),
cteAdjust (ntrnpd, adjust))

Don and Alan,

The CTEs should be something like 'with <virtual_table> as
<select_statement>'. So try this:

With cteAmount (ntrnpd, amount)
as (select ntrnpd, sum(ntramt) from dktntrpf where ntrtty = 'UDD'
group by ntrnpd, ntrtty),
cteAdjust (ntrnpd, adjust))
as (select ntrnpd, sum(ntramt) from dktntrpf where ntrtty = 'ADJ'
group by ntrnpd, ntrtty)

Select npdsdt, npdedt, npdamt, npdsts, npdtno, npdabl, npdnph, npdnpd,
nphnab,
npdamt + cteAmount.adjust - cteAmount.amount
from dktnphpf
join cteAmount on dktnphpf.ntrnpd = cteAmount.ntrnpd
join cteAdjust on dktnphpf.ntrnpd = cteAdjust.ntrnpd
where nphcoy = 1 and nphnab = 'ND0001' and nphnph = npdnph;

You should probably be prepared for situations where a 'UDD' or 'ADJ'
record is not available:

With cteAmount (ntrnpd, amount)
as (select ntrnpd, sum(ntramt) from dktntrpf where ntrtty = 'UDD'
group by ntrnpd, ntrtty),
cteAdjust (ntrnpd, adjust))
as (select ntrnpd, sum(ntramt) from dktntrpf where ntrtty = 'ADJ'
group by ntrnpd, ntrtty)

Select npdsdt, npdedt, npdamt, npdsts, npdtno, npdabl, npdnph, npdnpd,
nphnab,
npdamt + ifnull(cteAmount.adjust, 0) -
ifnull(cteAmount.amount)
from dktnphpf
left outer join cteAmount on dktnphpf.ntrnpd =
cteAmount.ntrnpd
left outer join cteAdjust on dktnphpf.ntrnpd =
cteAdjust.ntrnpd
where nphcoy = 1 and nphnab = 'ND0001' and nphnph = npdnph;

The cast is not really needed but I like to define the type and size
of
any
variable I define.

I would recommend for testing that you test in pieces.

First

With Amount as (...)
Select * from amount;

If that works add the next piece and see that works. If both work add
the
last piece,

That way you see if there is some other error in the code
Also I note you don't have a join clause. Deliberate?

Why not use CTE's. Much simpler code.

Any assistance would be appreciated.
