I have two examples, but having trouble with both --
Birgitta - "You want to have the first 5 rows for each Code and Member
Sorted by MLCode
Desc?"
-- YES, that is my desired outcome. So following your example, I get this
error...
With x as
(Select mlcode, mldonr,
Row_Number() Over(Partition By mlcode, mldonr Order By mlcode) Nbr
From x )
Select mlcode, mldonr
From mmalib.mllchk2p
Where Nbr between 1 and 5
Order By mlcode, mldonr

Chris’s example
Select t1.mlcode, t2.mldonr
(Select t1.mlcode From mmalib.mllchk2p t1
Group by t1.mlcode)
Cross Join Lateral( Select mlcode, mldonr from mmalib.mllchk2p t2
Where t2.mlcode = t1.mlcode
Order by mldonor
Fetch first 5 rows only
) t2 (mlcode, mldonr)
Order by t1.mlcode desc
[SQL0104] Token T1 was not valid. Valid tokens: ) ,. Cause . . . . . : A
syntax error was detected at token T1. Token T1 is not a valid token. A

******
So I added a comma after t2.mldonr on first line….and then error on join
Select t1.mlcode, t2.mldonr,
(Select t1.mlcode From mmalib.mllchk2p t1 Group by t1.mlcode)
Cross Join Lateral( Select mlcode, mldonr from mmalib.mllchk2p t2
Where t2.mlcode = t1.mlcode
Order by mldonor
Fetch first 5 rows only
) t2 (mlcode, mldonr)
Order by t1.mlcode desc
*********
I feel like I'm almost there, and I've been playing with sql to try to
accomplish this without writing a program to do get my results, but I
remember being at a COMMON, when one of the speakers stressed..... there
isn't anything you can't do in SQL... hmmm...so I keep on trying with
this. :) --
Thanks for the suggestions, I just need someone to grade my work ... :)

You want to have the first 5 rows for each Code and Member Sorted by
MLCode
Desc?
If so, you may try the following statement.
With x as (Select Code, Member, ...
Row_Number() Over(Partition By Code, Member Order By
MLCode Desc) Nbr
From x)
Select Code, Member, ....
From YourTable
Where Nbr between 1 and 5
Order By Code, Member

Subject: Retrieve (n) records from each group
All,
I want to pull a given amount of records from each "group by" category.
Given statement below, I only get (5) records from the first group. How
can
I change this to give me 5 records from each group?
select code, member from mylib.myfile
group by code, member
order by mlcode desc
Limit 5
