Why not first condition the HOURS field? when zero make it 1? Then your regular SUM() will work.

I need to condition a SUM in an embedded SQL statement where we have an HOURS field and a QTY field in the file. If the QTY field is great than zero I need to SUM based on the HOURS * QTY. If the QTY field is zero then I need to SUM just the HOURS field. I'm not sure how to code this. I've seen CASE but not sure if this is the place for this or even how to code it correctly.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
