    I'm trying to create a Smart Note that will list the accounts that exist in the GMDISTRIB that do not have a Record_Type attribute set up on the GL16.2.  Not all accounts should have their Record_Type attribute value assigned, only the accounts in the GMDISTRIB.

    I've broken it down into two queries:

    1. The first infoset JDBC query pulls a listing of all of the unique accounts that exist in the GMDISTRIB.

    SELECT GMDISTRIB.ACCOUNT
    FROM GMDISTRIB
    GROUP BY GMDISTRIB.ACCOUNT

    2. The second infoset JDBC query pulls all of the Accounts from GLCHARTDTL with a link to GLACCMXVAL for attribute value data.

    SELECT GLCHARTDTL.CHART_NAME, GLCHARTDTL.SUMRY_ACCT_ID, GLCHARTDTL.CHART_SECTION, GLCHARTDTL.ACCOUNT, GLCHARTDTL.ACCOUNT_DESC, GLACCMXVAL.MATRIX_CAT, GLACCMXVAL.MX_VALUE
    FROM GLCHARTDTL LEFT JOIN GLACCMXVAL ON GLCHARTDTL.OBJ_ID = GLACCMXVAL.OBJ_ID
    WHERE GLCHARTDTL.CHART_NAME='FINANCIALS'
    ORDER BY GLCHARTDTL.ACCOUNT

    My question is, how do I create a Smart Note that will show only the accounts from the first query that have a Record_Type=null from the second query?  Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated.

    Thanks for you time!

      Ken, I would approach it from the SQL side, and use a query that returns the desired results; something like this (I didn't test this...):
      SELECT
      GMDISTRIB.ACCOUNT,
      GLCHARTDTL.CHART_NAME,
      GLCHARTDTL.SUMRY_ACCT_ID,
      GLCHARTDTL.CHART_SECTION,
      GLCHARTDTL.ACCOUNT,
      GLCHARTDTL.ACCOUNT_DESC,
      GLACCMXVAL.MATRIX_CAT,
      GLACCMXVAL.MX_VALUE
      FROM GMDISTRIB

      LEFT OUTER JOIN GLCHARTDTL
      ON GLCHARTDTL.ACCOUNT = GMDISTRIB.ACCOUNT
      AND GLCHARTDTL.CHART_NAME = 'FINANCIALS'

      LEFT OUTER JOIN GLACCMXVAL
      ON GLACCMXVAL.OBJ_ID= GLCHARTDTL.OBJ_ID
      AND GLACCMXVAL.MATRIX_CAT = 'Record_Type'

      WHERE GLACCMXVAL.OBJ_ID IS NULL

      ORDER BY GMDISTRIB.ACCOUNT
      Thanks for using the LawsonGuru.com forums!

        I had to tweak it slightly but you definitely pointed me in the right direction. Thanks for your help John!

        Here's the final result in case anyone else has a similar case:

        SELECT GMDISTRIB.ACCOUNT, GLCHARTDTL.ACCOUNT_DESC, GLCHARTDTL.CHART_NAME, GLCHARTDTL.SUMRY_ACCT_ID, GLCHARTDTL.CHART_SECTION, GLCHARTSUM.SUMMARY_ACCT, GLCHARTDTL.ACCOUNT, GLACCMXVAL.MATRIX_CAT, GLACCMXVAL.MX_VALUE

        FROM ((GMDISTRIB LEFT JOIN GLCHARTDTL ON GMDISTRIB.ACCOUNT = GLCHARTDTL.ACCOUNT) LEFT JOIN GLACCMXVAL ON GLCHARTDTL.OBJ_ID = GLACCMXVAL.OBJ_ID) LEFT JOIN GLCHARTSUM ON GLCHARTDTL.SUMRY_ACCT_ID = GLCHARTSUM.SUMRY_ACCT_ID

        GROUP BY GMDISTRIB.ACCOUNT, GLCHARTDTL.CHART_NAME, GLCHARTDTL.SUMRY_ACCT_ID, GLCHARTSUM.SUMMARY_ACCT, GLCHARTDTL.CHART_SECTION, GLCHARTDTL.ACCOUNT, GLCHARTDTL.ACCOUNT_DESC, GLACCMXVAL.MATRIX_CAT, GLACCMXVAL.MX_VALUE, GLACCMXVAL.OBJ_ID

        HAVING GLACCMXVAL.OBJ_ID Is Null

        ORDER BY GMDISTRIB.ACCOUNT
