Re: how to include a partial field in this view?

cl status just means that the order is closed. I can take that out for sure
and check later in the process. good catch. I really appreciate your help
Rob.

Please take this right, but I think there's something else that is going
on here that you're not showing us. For example, I showed you the test
data I created, I showed you the select statement I used.
is it possible that you really don't have a matching row in that last
table for something in the first table with that date and that 'CL'
status?

OK this compiles but not data. I am going to make a dummy file wherein i
MOVEL to a new field and see what happens.

Is this something not set on our IBM i ? We just got a spankning new one
this past week.

So that means the problem is this statement

plain like this works:
select MHORDR FROM
SHP4VAR27F.MFH1MH WHERE MHORDR = '0257666101'

however when adding in the fancy substringing, no can do.

1. Token . was not valid. Valid tokens: , FROM INTO.
select MHORDR, LEFT(MHORDR,8), SUBSTR(MHORDR,1,8), FROM
SHP4VAR27F.MFH1MH WHERE MHORDR = '0257666101'



2. Token . was not valid. Valid tokens: , FROM INTO.
select MHORDR, LEFT(MHORDR,8), FROM
SHP4VAR27F.MFH1MH WHERE MHORDR = '0257666101'

3. Token . was not valid. Valid tokens: , FROM INTO.
select MHORDR, SUBSTR(MHORDR,1,8), FROM
SHP4VAR27F.MFH1MH WHERE MHORDR = '0257666101'


so

I

am

deducing that you cannot select on a field like this.

Thanks for the first part of the email, the field definitions.
What about the select given to try to show us a MHORDR that is

supposed

to

match the respective OHORD#?

select MHORDR, LEFT(MHORDR,8), SUBSTR(MHORDR,1,8),
FROM SHP4VAR27F.MFH1MH
WHERE MHORDR ...

no joining. Just put a value at the end of the where clause

above.

Getting closer. Now:

Now try picking one you think should match and do a simple
select MHORDR, LEFT(MHORDR,8), SUBSTR(MHORDR,1,8),
CAST(MHORDER AS CHAR (8))
FROM SHP4VAR27F.MFH1MH
WHERE MHORDR ...

and you'll be able to see what the results of all of those

are

and which one matches (if any) with what you are expecting.

I have this View runs but it is not bringing in the data from

but

is data there. It shows as a '-' in the i when i 'view ' the

How am I to add this in here?

Knowing just that two columns have a definitional

difference

of

"10

pos" vs "8 pos" is an incomplete description. Also what is

"this

field"

is not noted... and the "include a partial field" seems to

refer

to

what

data is returned, but that makes little sense, so I infer

the

intent

is

to use "a partial field" in a predicate. Yet *assuming*

that

the

last

two bytes of each value in the larger column is always

blanks,

then

because trailing blanks are insignificant, there is nothing

special

to

do to make the comparison\predicate.

If I understand the remaining description of the

scenario,

i.e.

there

is a file SHP4VAR27F/MFH1MHL0 that has a single matching

value

of

its

column MHORDR to the order number that defines each row of

the

result

set defined by the above SELECT [i.e. T01.OHORD#], then the

following

modification adding a scalar-subselect to the SELECT should

suffice:

SELECT ALL
T01.OHORDD, T03.IHINV#
, T01.OHORDT, T01.OHJOB3, T01.OHORD#
, T02.IDPRLC, T02.IDNTU$*(IDSHP#) AS EXTSHP, T02.IDPRT#
, ( select Shipping_zone_code_column
from SHP4VAR27F/MFH1MHL0 sss
where sss.MHORDR = T01.OHORD# )
FROM ASTDTA/OEORHDOH T01
LEFT OUTER JOIN ASTDTA/OEIND1 T02
ON T01.OHORD# = T02.IDORD#
LEFT OUTER JOIN ASTDTA/OEINHDIH T03
ON T01.OHORD# = T03.IHORD#
WHERE T01.OHOSTC = 'CL'
AND T01.OHORDD>= 20120101
ORDER BY T01.OHORD# ASC
