When I insert my * for ALL…

When I first read that, I thought it referred to the asterisk in “count(*)”.

So, the statement in the comment isn’t the one that throws the error?

Most likely, Phil’s comment is getting close to the problem. Show us the statement that actually throws an error (and show us the error). It ought to be possible to describe in terms of the statement why the error appears. That should clarify how to avoid it in the future.

Every field that you include in the select will need to be in the Group By clause except the count and sum.

You will get a count and total for each distinct set of the 8 fields.

I don’t think that’s what you want but that’s what you asked for.

Since you will be getting back multiple rows, the embedded code will need a cursor.

I stil get an error.

Error? What error? What is the message identifier, or at least the text?

ok , Ive got this much to work, but I need to select ALL fields in the file. Or at least a select 8 fields that I need. When I insert my * for ALL, I get an error, when I try to select the fields I need thru STRQRY, I stil get an error.

                                                           
SELECT acsr2, count(*) as count, sum(shqt) as total FROM   
MERTAS/SGBCSHPF GROUP BY acsr2

Here is the Sample Data again: CUCD SCSR2 ACSR2 SHDT SHQT AM 49 166 20110509 1 AM 50 165 20110510 1 AM 51 165 20110510 1 AM 52 165 20110510 1

Here is the sample of the partial select statement:
0113.02  * loaded racks    not shipped .............                      
0113.04 D Sel3            s            100a   inz('WHERE cucd = ''AM'' -  
0113.05 d                                     and shnm = ''     '' -      
0113.06 d                                     ORDER BY acsr2')            
0113.07                                                                   

This is what I want displayed:
MASTER SER#                               ASM COUNT                           SHIP DATE
165                                                          3                                          20110510
