Thank you Javier, I will give that a try.

You can use the same approach that was suggested for that situation; you can use the IFNULL function in conjunction with the LMAX function for your calculated column... ( LMAX(IFNULL( col1,0, col1), IFNULL( col2,0,col2), ....)) You get the idea... Javier, Javier Valencia, PE President Valencia Technology Group, L.L.C. 14315 S.

I also altered CONCOMP transmaster table with two additional trandate fields and I get the same result.

Is this what I should expect or is this not functioning properly. Steve, First, you need to check the EQNULL settings of your database. SHOW EQNULL or SET VAR vCheckEQNULL = (CVAL('EQNULL')) SHOW VAR vCheckEQNULL FYI, the function LMAX is not the same as the function MAX, which is used only with the SELECT command. LMAX function returns the MAXIMUM value in LIST. Example: SET VAR vLMax = (LMAX(2,10,99,88,75,3,16)) Variable vLMax will return the value of 99, the highest number in the LIST. Very Best R:egards, Razzak.
