Hi Jay,

you have to concatenate the fields in the Count(Distinct ...)

SELECT  COUNT(DISTINCT QRSTCD concat QRAREA concat QRBANK) 
   FROM REPTDTL JOIN REPTINST ON     QRSTCD=RISTCD 
                                 AND QRAREA=RIAREA 
                                 AND QRBANK=RIBANK  
                                 AND QRBRPT=RIREPT 
   WHERE     QRRSTA = 'A' AND QRSAMP <> 'Y' 
         AND RIRSTA = 'A' AND RIRINS = 'BUSIC0K'
  
Mit freunlichen Grüßen / Best regards

I am getting the following error on the following sql statement.  I want to 

simply retrieve a number of records "grouped by qrstcd,qrarea,qrbank)...

What am I missing..?
---------------------

Number of arguments for function COUNT not valid.

SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT QRSTCD,QRAREA,QRBANK) FROM REPTDTL            
JOIN REPTINST ON QRSTCD=RISTCD AND QRAREA=RIAREA AND QRBANK=RIBANK  
AND QRBRPT=RIREPT WHERE QRRSTA = 'A' AND QRSAMP <> 'Y' AND RIRSTA = 
'A' AND RIRINS = 'BUSIC0K'
