iSQL Query Returning Value Multiple Times

Question

The output of my column "SettlementsPayable" is returning the value for each line item even though that is not my desired result. It should only be returning the value when the ratecode = SHUNTING Maybe it is how I am getting the data into my statement? I've included a screen shot of my data results in iSQL

     SELECT      ds_id AS TMP, ds_ship_date AS ShipDate, ds_ref1_text AS ContainerNumber,  

        (CASE ds_status WHEN 'A' THEN 'TEMPLATE'  

WHEN 'C' THEN 'CANCELLED'  

WHEN 'D' THEN 'DECLINED'    

WHEN 'E' THEN 'QUOTED'  

WHEN 'F' THEN 'OFFERED'   

WHEN 'H' THEN 'PENDING'  

WHEN 'K' THEN 'OPEN'  

WHEN 'N' THEN 'AUTHORIZED'  

WHEN 'Q' THEN 'AUDIT REQUIRED'  

WHEN 'T' THEN 'AUDITED'  

WHEN 'W' THEN 'BILLED'   

END) AS 'TMPStatus',

        CASE ds_ship_type

Answer 1

The subquery has a where clause that looks for rows with DBA.AmountOwed.Description = 'SHUNTING' ...

( select sum ( amount ) from dba.amountowed where DBA.AmountOwed.Description = 'SHUNTING' and
string ( ds_id ) = amountowed.shipment ) AS SettlementsPayable,  

... but I don't see any place in the parent query where you limit the results to just rows with SHUNTING (this is supported by the image showing RateCode values of PORT, RATES or SHUNTING) so I'm guessing what you really want to see is a value under the SettlementsPayable column that is conditioned on the value in the RateCode column.

Assumptions:

• SettlementsPayable should show sum(result) if the parent row has RateCode = 'SHUNTING' otherwise show 0.00 (when RateCode != 'SHUNTING')
• the current SettlementsPayable value of 10.00 is the correct value for the RateCode = 'SHUNTING' row (ie, there are no logic issues with the current subquery)
• string() is not a valid (system supplied) function in Sybase ASE so I'm guessing OP is using Sybase SQLAnywhere or Sybase IQ; in turn I think I've got the right syntax for the SQLAnywhere/IQ version of the case statement

One idea using a case statement:

select ... snip ...
       dba.disp_items.ratecodename AS RateCode,             # no change here, just displaying so we know where 'RateCode' comes from
       ... snip ...

       case when dba.disp_items.ratecodename != 'SHUNTING' then 0.00

            else (select sum(amount) 
                  from   dba.amountowed
                  where  DBA.AmountOwed.Description = 'SHUNTING'
                  and    string(ds_id) = amountowed.shipment)

       end case AS SettlementsPayable, 

       ... snip ...
from   ... snip ...
