Is there a parent-child relationship defined? If so, you could summarize the results by the parent account. Matt -----Original Message----- From: rpg400-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:rpg400-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Phil Kestenbaum Sent: Wednesday, December 20, 2006 4:30 PM To: RPG programming on the AS400 / iSeries Subject: Use for SQL? HI I am trying to see how to use SQL here. I have to modify a RPG report that prints the customers ranked as top 50. However, in one case, we have many accounts that are actually a franchise of the same parent company and these appear many times in this top 50, let us call them Burger-King. They would like to group the Burger-King accounts so that only one Burger-King will appear on the report w/ the aggregate totals. For the sake of this report, it doesn't matter which account number is listed for the total Burger-Kings. There are several steps involved in arriving at the final list, incl. work files. If it could be hard-coded, to look for all the Burger-Kings that would be easy but we want to be able to take any account that appears in the ranking more than once to aggregate it. For timeliness, it seems to me that if I can deal w/ the final file right prior to printing the report and make the adjustment there that would be the preferred method. Can the SQL be able to discern where it has a number of Burger-Kings and aggregate them? Thank you, Phil This message contains information proprietary to our company.
