RE: help with Sql

Well, it will depend a little on the structure of b and c, why are the
codes in 2 different files? Is there any overlap between b and c or is
it just the case that some codes are in b and some codes are in c?

If there is no overlap between b and c then you can do.

SELECT                                  
 a.RECCODE,                             
 a.BANKCODE,                            
 a.BANKNAME,                            
 case                                   
 when c.recname is null then b.recname  
 when b.recname is null then c.recname  
 else 'error no recname found'          
 end as recname                         
FROM                                    
 a left outer join               
 b on                            
 a.reccode = b.reccode left outer join  
 c on                            
 a.reccode = c.reccode
