BTW, this would be much simpler with a basic SQL SELECT DISTINCT… query.

SELECT DISTINCT Col1, Col2 FROM mytable

You almost certainly want a Summary Query, but I can’t determine what product you are using. Neither the Query for iSeries nor the Query Manager products have a menu option nor screen labeled ‘Query Definition Option’ that I can see.

You would set both Col1 and Col2 as ‘Break’ columns and choose the summary output type.

What version of i5/OS are you running? How do you get into the query function? (If you know the name of the query product, that will help.)

I might be better able to connect to a configuration that matches yours if I know what to work with.

…nothing will.

We’ll find out, eh? I work at eliciting details, but it’s not a particularly fruitful effort. Every once in a while, though…

If this doesn’t make the OP provide more details, nothing will.

Here is a sample table that has three columns — Col1, Col2 and Col3. Columns Col1 and Col3 are duplicated in multiple rows. The Col2 column has a numeric value that can be different for each row.

Col1  Col2  Col3
----  ----  ----
ABC     12  xyz
ABC     32  xyz
ABC     43  xyz
DEF     12  uvw
DEF     32  uvw
DEF     65  uvw
GHI     12  rst
GHI     76  rst
GHI    115  rst

Please show us how you would want your query to display those rows. If my example does not fit your requirement, then please provide an example that would work and show us how the query should report that example.

Thank you.

Tom
