first take : do what the system tells you, i.e. include
indicator variable(s) in the "fetch .. into" statement
and include logic to handle null values

second : how do you think can an "order by" clause
work with "null" (= non existant) values? I suggest
you use the "coalesce" (or "value") function
like "coalesce(file2.seqno, 0)" in order to get predictable
results
