Jerry -- you've got to list all non-aggregate fields in your GROUP BY.

Example:

SELECT Field1, Field2, Field3, Field4, sum(Field5)
FROM YourTable
GROUP BY Field1, Field2, Field3, Field4
INTO CURSOR Results

Subject: Problem with GROUP BY

When I try to execute the code below i get error message group by error

SELECT manifest_n, bill_of_la, release_no, frm_acct, source, source_id,
sum(units) as totat FROM SERVICE WHERE manifest_n=2512 AND
bill_of_la="158401" GROUP BY service.release_no INTO CURSOR mytotla ORDER
BYrelease_no

If anyone can spot the problem I would appreciate a heads up

Thanks Jerry
