What happened? Did you get unexpected results or some negative sqlcode?
If you post only "it didn't work", we have nothing to use to help you.
Unless there can be multiple rows returned with the same name, you probably don't want SUM. . . I'm not connected just now so this is untested, but you might try something like "select name,s1,s2, (s1 + s2) as tot. . ." |

Hello,
Instead of "col1 + col2 as tot ", try "DEC((COL1 + COL2),8,2) AS TOT" or even "(COL1 + COL2) AS TOT".
Hopefully, tomorrow i'll be where i have more connectivity<g>. |

| Code: |
SELECT S1,S2,(S1+S2) AS TOTAL FROM XXXXX
|
and it worked for me with out any problem in SPUFI.
Can you post the exact error you got?
Regards,
Surya |

Thanks all those who really contributed for this thread... I tried exhaustively each suggestion provided here but with no success. I understand now once this SQL is executed on QMF these approaches don't work as they work in another tools (like spufi, thru batch job etc..). If anyone has any other suggestion, i appreciate.. thanks.
by the way I've sent a private message to the global moderator.. and so far i didn't have a response. enrico-sorichetti, would please take a look at my msg, thanks ! |

One more time. . . Do not post "it didn't work". . .
You need to post exactly what you tried and what happened for each attempt. If an sqlcode was presented or if unexpected/undesired results occurred, you need to show these.

This new understanding may not be correct. We can see more when the actual problems are posted. |

a public complaint deserve a public reply...
I did read Your message, since I am not stupid I understood it, and took the action You requested..
so what <derogative interjection> do You have to complain about now!
I deleted Your post also because of the offensive remark
learn to read and understand what is going on, and how to post and behave

Your understanding is just plain wrong
no reason for a well constructed query not to work in QMF,SPUFI,DSNTEP2
so the best suggestion is ... try to do things properly,
read the manuals
since the query worked for all of us and we did not get error messages,
there is no reason that it should not work for You.
just telling "it did not work" does not give any material to provide help
such approach deserves the only logical reply....
how bad, let' s hope that You will be able to fix it sooner or later |
