Question

I am having an issue with the filtering my table F0005 properly. I have tried this query many different ways. What I want to accomplish is having the F0005 filtered before I join it.

This is how I want it filtered and the results are perfect on just that table.

SELECT LTRIM(F0005.DRKY), F0005.DRDL01, F0005.DRRT, F0005.DRSY
    FROM
            SENCOM.F0005 F0005
            WHERE LTRIM(F0005.DRKY) != '' AND F0005.DRRT IN ('W1','08') AND F0005.DRSY NOT IN ('30','32','98')

Here is my whole query and my attempt at filtering the table before joining it.

SELECT
    FSALES2011.SXAN8,
    FSALES2011.SXCO   AS Company,
    FSALES2011.SXMCU  AS BuisinessUnit,

  ON
    ABAC15 = F0005Filtered.DRKY

When I try this I get Column errors, SQL0205] Column DRKY not in table F0005FILTERED in *N.

Thanks for any help I am kind of new to this and running out of ideas!! 🙂

Huge Thanks to Everyone, my problem was the formatting of my nested select but also something totally different. I was joining on the wrong field, so there were no matches and thats why i was getting the NULLs! thanks again!!

Here is the final version. Id be open to some optimization suggestions. Otherwise glad its done!

Answer 1

If you wrap a field in a function, you need to name it afterwards.

Change LTRIM(F0005.DRKY), to LTRIM(F0005.DRKY) AS DRKY,
