RE: Conditional Select in SQL

My aplogies Kent.
It must be because its a long day. Now that you re-wrote your question, I
realized that I had mis-read your initial question.

Something like:

Select * from table
Where CHGDTE = InputDate or
      (CHGDTE = 0 and ENTDTE = InputDate)

|I'm sorry Kent, maybe its just that its at the end of a long day, but
what
|you wrote just didn't make much sense.
|My interpretation of your description is as follows:-
|
|The table (file) contains a field called change date (CHGDTE for
example)
|You want to select rows when the entered date (DATEIN) is equal to the
|change date (CHGDTE)
|unless, the change date (CHGDTE) is 0, in which case you want to select
|rows when the entered date (DATEIN) is equal to the change date
(CHGDTE).
|
|Like I said - end of a long day
