RE: SQL within RPG

[<Matt.Haas@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Grouping by the customer id and line type should do this. Something
along the lines of:

  SELECT cust_id, line_type, sum(amount)
    FROM billing_file
GROUP BY cust_id, line_type
ORDER BY cust_id, line_type

For performance reasons, you'll want to create a logical file that has
the fields used by your selection criteria followed by the fields used
in the ORDER BY clause.

Subject: SQL within RPG

I have a program that calculates sales for each of our customers based
upon 
the type of sale it is (defined by a line type), it is using embedded
sql 
and works fine.  What I would like to do is expand it so that I can
display 
for each customer within the subfile their totals sales for two or
possibly 
three seperate line types IE: line haul charges, stop off charges, fuel 
surcharges.

Is there a way to do this without having to create a work file or re-run
the 
sql query for each line type? What I mean is this, is it possible to
select 
the sums for each of sales for each line type grouped by customer?


If you bought it, it was hauled by a truck - somewhere, sometime.
