I am trying to convert to left outer join syntax a sql statement that works as expected using *= syntax.
current sql
SELECT labtrans.transdate,
labtrans.laborcode,
labtrans.regularhrs,
labtrans.startdate,
labtrans.craft,
labtrans.refwo,
task.worktype,
task.parent,
parent.wonum,
parent.location,
parent.worktype,
matusetrans.itemnum,
matusetrans.mrnum,
matusetrans.transdate,
matusetrans.actualdate,
matusetrans.issuetype,
matusetrans.description,
matusetrans.storeloc,
matusetrans.refwo,
matusetrans.linetype,
labor.personid,
matusetrans.issueto,
asset.eq1
FROM labtrans,
workorder task,
workorder parent,
labor,
matusetrans,
asset
WHERE ( labtrans.refwo = task.wonum ) and
( task.parent = parent.wonum ) and ( labtrans.laborcode = labor.laborcode ) and
( labtrans.refwo *= matusetrans.refwo) and
(convert (char( 20 ),labtrans.startdate,6) *= convert (char( 20 ),matusetrans.transdate,6)) and
(matusetrans.linetype = 'WAREHOUSE ITEM' or matusetrans.linetype = 'TOOL ROOM') and
(labor.personid *= matusetrans.issueto) and (parent.worktype <> 'A') and
(labtrans.craft >= '611-ELEC' and labtrans.craft <= '619-SMWE') and (task.assetnum *= asset.assetnum) and
( labtrans.startdate >= :from_date and labtrans.startdate <= :thru_date )
conversion so far....
SELECT labtrans.transdate,
labtrans.laborcode,
labtrans.regularhrs,
labtrans.startdate,

matusetrans.issueto,

FROM { oj labtrans left outer join matusetrans ON ( labtrans.refwo = matusetrans.refwo) and
(convert (char( 20 ),labtrans.startdate,6) = convert (char( 20 ),matusetrans.transdate,6)) and
(matusetrans.linetype = 'WAREHOUSE ITEM' or matusetrans.linetype = 'TOOL ROOM')} ,
{ oj workorder task left outer join asset ON (task.assetnum = asset.assetnum) } ,
workorder parent,
labor
WHERE ( labtrans.refwo = task.wonum ) and
( task.parent = parent.wonum ) and
(parent.worktype <> 'A') and
(labtrans.laborcode = labor.laborcode) and
(labor.personid *= matusetrans.issueto) and
(labtrans.craft >= '611-ELEC' and labtrans.craft <= '619-SMWE') and
( labtrans.startdate >= :from_date and labtrans.startdate <= :thru_date )
I haven't successfully converted the left outer join of the labor and matusetrans tables.
I need to join labtrans to labor to have a data column that will join with matusetrans.
If I alias matusetrans {oj labor left outer join matusetrans issue on labor.personid = issue.issueto} I don't get a syntax error
but I am not getting what I want.
Thanks for any help.

Are you running this through somehting other than Microsoft SQL server? "{of" is not somehting SQL would understand to my knowledge. Also you have spaces in your table names which would have to be in cased in [].

If only I could snap my figures and have all the correct indexes apear and the buffer clean and.... Start day dream here.

I'm sure you're not using SQL Server, but I guess this should work as expected.

SELECT labtrans.transdate,

labtrans.laborcode,

labtrans.regularhrs,

labtrans.startdate,

labtrans.craft,

labtrans.refwo,

task.worktype,

task.parent,

parent.wonum,

parent.location,

parent.worktype,

matusetrans.itemnum,

matusetrans.mrnum,

matusetrans.transdate,

matusetrans.actualdate,

matusetrans.issuetype,

matusetrans.description,

matusetrans.storeloc,

matusetrans.refwo,

matusetrans.linetype,

labor.personid,

matusetrans.issueto,

asset.eq1

FROM labtrans

JOIN workorder task ON labtrans.refwo = task.wonum

JOIN workorder parent ON task.parent = parent.wonum

JOIN labor ON labtrans.laborcode = labor.laborcode

LEFT JOIN matusetrans ON labtrans.refwo = matusetrans.refwo

AND convert (char( 20 ),labtrans.startdate,6) = convert (char( 20 ),matusetrans.transdate,6)

AND (matusetrans.linetype = 'WAREHOUSE ITEM' or matusetrans.linetype = 'TOOL ROOM')

AND labor.personid = matusetrans.issueto

LEFT JOIN asset ON task.assetnum = asset.assetnum

WHERE (parent.worktype <> 'A') and

(labtrans.craft >= '611-ELEC' and

labtrans.craft <= '619-SMWE') and

( labtrans.startdate >= :from_date and labtrans.startdate <= :thru_date )

thanks that works.

the syntax I provided {oj } was default syntax created when using powerbuilder graphic interface and then converting to syntax.

That's where the *= came from. I am using sql server so if that is unusual i guess it is a powerbuilder thing.

I have used the {oj } syntax in other places and it is working fine.

Thanks so much for your help.

There might be something wrong in the configuration of Powerbuilder (I've never used it). The variables are wrong as well (there's a : where a @ should go).
