SQL against AS400

[R. Choate]

I'm using ADO to pull a recordset from AS400. Everything works fine except my SQL. This SQL was generated using Microsoft query in
Excel, and it works fine, obviously, when using MSQuery. It does not work when I put it in code. The rest of my code is fine, and
has been tested successfully with a different, simpler SQL. I'm posting to a couple of Access groups because more Access users are
knowledgeable about SQL than Excel users. Thanks in advance for your help.

mySQL = "SELECT CUST.CCMPNY, CUST.CSPCL4, CUST.CCYCLE, CUST.CCUST#, CPRD.CPDESC, CPRD.CPCHG " & _
"FROM {oj ARWF.JGFTYT.CUST CUST LEFT OUTER JOIN ARWF.JGFTYT.CPRD CPRD ON CUST.CCUST# = CPRD.CPCST#} " & _
"WHERE (CPRD.CPCHG In ('CW','DF','MC','MK','CK','WE','LI','GA','GR','CO','BE','BS')) AND (SUBSTR(CSPCL4,1,2) In ('CW','DF'," & _
"'MC','MK','CK','WE','LI','GA','GR','CO','BE','BS')) AND (CUST.CCYCLE In ('RW','RR','RC','TR','WR','SB','SC','ZB','1','2','10'," & _
"'11','12','13','14','15','16')) AND (CUST.CCMPNY In ('1','3','4','5','6'))" & ";"

I'm not familiar with any SQL that uses braces "{ }" so try removing those.

It the JOIN clause is not in a correct format, I could be wrong. Try

SELECT CUST.CCMPNY, CUST.CSPCL4, CUST.CCYCLE, CUST.CCUST#, CPRD.CPDESC,
CPRD.CPCHG
FROM ARWF.JGFTYT.CUST LEFT OUTER JOIN ARWF.JGFTYT.CPRD ON CUST.CCUST# =
CPRD.CPCST#
WHERE <rest of where>

Do you get any descriptive errors?

Drop the trailing semicolon.

 

[R. Choate]

No, I don't get any descriptive errors. It generates an error from the AS400 that just says the server generated an error, and it
gives an error number of 0036 or something like that. I've had the error before and it isn't very helpful, other than to know it
means you have a messed up SQL.

Thanks,
