I am using MYSQL database and retrieving the data to be used in WebFOCUS table...my table names are too long to be used in JOIN so used SET ASNAMES to use the duplicate name in the Join but its not getting recognized.

I would be happy if someone can help me out.

Could you send a snippet of your code? I am not sure how you are using ASNAMES as a file name substitute for a join?

Getting the error that it not recognize the ID.

I'm sure whether the SET ASNAMES affect the SQL query.

ASNAMES only works with TABLE requests. It helps to store fields with a certain name.

Next time you could try to put ?FF in your code. Then you see the exact names and aliases.
