RE: iSeries and Microsoft Query (Excel)

[<lgoodbar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

OK. I tried both suggestions: using *SQL naming, and putting schema and
table names in upper case.

Now the error I see is: SQL0206 - Column PROD not in specified tables.

The SQL below works in iNav's Run SQL Scripts.

with TEMP as (select nxkjdt, nxjpt2, sum(NXS7FQ) as tran
from VNGDBDTA.DBNXCPP
where nxkjdt between 1070301 and 1070307
group by nxkjdt, nxjpt2),
TEMP2 as (select dmatdt, dmekcd, sum(dmgzfq) as prod
from VNGDBDTA.DBDMREP
where dmqwtx = 'SFR' and dmcdcd = ';MRCT' and
dmatdt between 1070301 and 1070307
group by dmatdt, dmekcd)
select dmatdt, dmekcd, prod, tran, prod - tran as makeup_entry 
from TEMP2
left outer join TEMP on dmatdt = nxkjdt and dmekcd = nxjpt2
where (prodo - tran) <> 0
order by 1,2

Thanks,

Sounds like a Microsoft problem... perhaps they assume SQL naming when
using
this interface.

That's strange since I occasionaly use Microsoft Query to test certain
things. I do go directly to it's Office folder path, rather than going
through Excel, i.e.:

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\MSQRY32.EXE"

Then I click File->Execute SQL, pick a data source with *SYS naming and
all
works.

Perhaps OP can use IBM's data transfer utility instead?  
It would show as "Transfer data from iSeries..." under the Data menu
option
in Excel.
That always worked for me.

Hello,

I receive the same error anytime I try to use *SYS naming.  (Even though

I have the ODBC driver configured for *SYS).   When I change my SQL 
statement to use *SQL naming (i.e., replace the slash with a dot) I have

no problem.
