Thanks guys... I was just looking for the general idea of what to do. I think I may have it now. I just have to test it. :'-( -----Original Message----- From: McManus, Duncan [mailto:Duncan.McManus@natexismetals.com] Sent: Tuesday, December 18, 2001 8:49 AM To: 'rpg400-l@midrange.com' Subject: RE: SQL joining question I don't know if there is anything simpler than this, but you could try: SELECT a.custno, a.inv, ammoundue, ammount paid FROM file1 a JOIN file2 b ON a.custno=b.custno AND a.inv=b.inv UNION SELECT a.custno, a.inv, ammoundue, 0 FROM file1 a EXCEPTION JOIN file2 b ON a.custno=b.custno AND a.inv=b.inv UNION SELECT b.custno, b.inv, 0, ammount paid FROM file2 b JOIN file1 a ON a.custno=b.custno AND a.inv=b.inv ORDER BY 1,2 This should do: 1) select all rows in both 2) select all rows in file1 without any in file 2 3) all rows in file2 without any in file1 Hope that this helps -----Original Message----- From: Wills, Mike N. (TC) [mailto:MNWills@taylorcorp.com] Sent: 18 December 2001 14:29 To: 'rpg400-l@midrange.com' Subject: SQL joining question I need to be able to select records from 2 identical files that have a 1-to-1 relationship. However, there are some records in file1 that isn't in file2 and vise-versa... and I want the entire set. I need to do this as a dynamic SQL statement in a RPG program. As an example: file1 custno inv amountdue 1111 123 200 5555 120 200 file2 custno inv amountpaid 1111 123 050 6666 125 500 the result cursor would be: custno inv amountdue amountpaid 1111 123 200 050 5555 120 200 000 6666 125 000 500 What kind of join can be done for this? I have been unsuccessful so far in figuring it out. Any help would be appreciated.
