Re: Select statement with a temp table

Arjan Hoornstra,

Thank you very much. It worked. It seems odd though, moving the temp table to
the front. I have never seen any documentation that says temp tables should be
first in the from list.

Yes, you are correct. I didn't try putting it in front. That's a good idea. I'll
try it.

Thanks!

Do I understand you correct that the 2nd proc (the
local one) does work and the first one not?

I tried this in a test, and it probably will work if
uou put the variable table in front.

It really makes a difference... at my system (sybase)

...
from [$temp_ps_dis_ben] db, ps_job j, ps_employment e,
ps_personal_data  p
...
