Thanks Jim for testing this and confirming the issue. If you would be so kind as to remove the BY BODYTYPE and rerun it for an additional test that would be great. I expect it to work with only 3 BYs and the 2 BY HIGHEST N statements.

The issue seems to be the combination of 4 BYs and 2 BY HIGHEST N statements.


Thanks!

Mickey

It ran fine.

"The issue seems to be the combination of 4 BYs and 2 BY HIGHEST N statements." < Yo're correct.

Thanks, Jim

Thanks again for testing and confirming.

Mickey,

I know this post is sort of old, but have you gotten a resolution for this case yet? I found the known problem on the tech support site: http://techsupport.informationbuilders.com/known_problems/23482535.html.

Thanks,
Josh

I tested this on v5.3.4 and the problem is there.

So from v5.3.4 to v7.6.9 - a long road to travel.
