Hi Mark, that doesn't work, says not valid;
Column ODOBNM or expression in SELECT list not valid.
SELECT COUNT(odobnm), odobnm, odldat, odltim
     FROM myfile
     WHERE odldat = 090713 OR odldat = 090813
     ORDER BY odldat
SELECT COUNTodobnm), odobnm, odldat, odltim
    FROM myfile
    WHERE odldat = 090713 OR odldat = 090813
    ORDER BY odldat
