Hi everyone
We are at V7r3
I hope that what I am about to ask, makes sense

I have an SQL query using 5 files with joins, exception joins etc, that extracts a number of columns
I would like to add another column, that would use data from two of these columns and look in a sixth file and let me know if there are NO records in that sixth file with those 2 values
I cannot use any data from this sixth file as I am looking to see if a "no record" condition exists

Anyone any ideas as to how to achieve this?
