Looks like you are missing a closing parentheses:

Try this line with the closing parentheses added at the end.

IncludeRecords = 'alcucd < 0 And alcucd Not In (Select s2cucd From amfliba/mbs2rep');

Subject: SQL Inserting into file based on records not in primary file

What I want to do is get all the records in a file that do not have a match on a field in a primary file.
That work.

Then I want to copy those records into a purge file before I actually delete them.
That is failing.

Here is the code. Just testing so it's messy.
