Re: SQL consundrum du jour...

IFNULL(column_name, {replacement_value}

Like this:
select ifnull(cmname, 'Not found') into :cmname from arp001 where cmcust =
:keyvalue

where drtemp.master.mcusno in (select drtemp.slsupd.cust from

yes we were going down that trail, but then, how would one handle that

condition?? slsupd is a subset of master, yes, but there's got to be a way
to do this with a subsetted updates/changes file...

no hit on customer in slsupd ; so msales would be null

Greetings...

I've used this exact same SQL in other updates just fine...all I sub'd

this time was the file(s) and field(s)...yeah, famous last words... But
this time I'm getting a "Null values not allowed in column or variable
MSALES. " error... Any idea what I'm not seeing?

msales and rep are saleman numbers, and mcusno and cust are customer

numbers...

update drtemp.master
set
drtemp.master.msales =
(select
rep from
drtemp.slsupd
where
(drtemp.master.mcusno = drtemp.slsupd.cust )
)

Thanks...
