RE: SQL , multi row note file.

["Hatzenbeler, Tim" <thatzenbeler@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I like the UDF route, and that might be the best route in this scenario.

Thanks, Tim

Tim,

Anything is possible...with enough effort, time, and/or money!

In you case, what you need is a User Defined Function (UDF) that returns a string containing the notes
concatenated together.

You could write the UDF in either SQL or RPG; then it'd simply be a matter of
        select po#, concatNotesUDF(po#)
      from potable

A good place to learn about UDFs is this redbook, "Stored Procedures, Triggers, and User-Defined
Functions on DB2 Universal Database for iSeries"
