Regards, Alastair. From: jan johansen Sent: Monday, December 07, 2009 6:02 PM To: RBASE-L Mailing List Subject: [RBASE-L] - Re: SELECT DISTINCT Ok, This is just to weird. Trust me when I say that there is a column there but I am typing it in now instead of pasting. SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT WOBILLID) INTO vCountWOBILLID FROM Invoiceing + WHERE Status = 'D' AND BillingType = 'G' If I change it to SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT WOBILLID,CustPO) INTO vCountWOBILLID FROM Invoiceing + WHERE Status = 'D' AND BillingType = 'G' it throws an error. So it looks like a 2 column DISTINCT works in a CURSOR but not for COUNT which is probably normal since COUNT is an aggregate function. So I am still looking for a way to count the unique values in rows based on 2 columns.

That was weird. I just copied the command and the column(s) disappeared. Here they are again SELECT (DISTINCT ) INTO vCountWOBILLID FROM Invoiceing + WHERE Status = 'D' AND BillingType = 'G' DECLARE Invoice CURSOR FOR SELECT + DISTINCT WOBILLID , CustPO FROM Invoiceing + WHERE Status = 'D' AND BillingType = 'G' COUNT WOBILLID So if I change count to SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT ) INTO vCountWOBILLID FROM Invoiceing + WHERE Status = 'D' AND BillingType 'G'it throws an error WOBILLID,CustPO Jan -----Original Message----- From: Bill Downall <[email protected]> To: [email protected] (RBASE-L Mailing List) Date: Mon, 7 Dec 2009 12:43:17 -0500 Subject: [RBASE-L] - Re: SELECT DISTINCT Jan, DISTINCT needs a column name after it.

The problem was that my method to determine how many invoices would print calculated 33 invoices. While a minor issue, I need a better to count. My cursor has the following; DECLARE + DISTINCT WOBILLID , CustPO FROM Invoiceing + WHERE Status = 'D' AND BillingType = 'G' Invoice CURSOR FOR SELECT My calculation has; SELECT (DISTINCT ) INTO vCountWOBILLID FROM Invoiceing + WHERE Status = 'D' AND BillingType = 'G' COUNT WOBILLID I know, I know. They are different. However when I tried to change my SELECT to SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT ) INTO vCountWOBILLID FROM Invoiceing + WHERE Status = 'D' AND BillingType = 'G' WOBILLID,CustPO I get an error. My suspicion is that the aggregate COUNT doesn't like it. I just found it interesting that I could declare a distinct cursor on 2 columns but not count distinct on 2 columns. The reason for the distinct is that a customer could send several different po's during a billing cycle Also the possibility exists that 2 different customers could use the same PO. Any suggestions are appreciated.
