You're going to have to (i) store the Jep, that's what I tried the last days, but I wasn't able to find a solution without syntax errors. The problem are the two different tables where I have to get the StationID and ProdID from. Without the two different tables, I could use JOIN ON CASE... that should work, I saw such a solution in a usenet posting. > results of an initial query in a temp table and work from there, or (ii) use > a scripting language.

Hum... I'll ask my people, if it's possible to have one table where I can find the EAN, ISRC and LabelProductCode. I won't have temporary tables because they don't solve our problem with a lot of chaos and mess in our tables. But if that is not possible, I'll try that with the temporary table.
