I left out the 'count(*)' column, because the query fails with or without it.
The reason I think it may be an error is that if I include either of the
columns it works, but not if I include both of them.
To recap, the first two queries below work, the third does not:
OK: select substr(memid,1,1) as memtp, count(*) from memmast
group by memtp
OK: select substr(memid,2,4) as newx, count(*) from memmast
group by newx
FAIL: select substr(memid,1,1) as memtp, substr(memid,2,4) as newx,
count(*) from memmast group by memtp, newx
