[Solved]Getting Null values from Left Outer Join

I am working with 2 tables that are related through a left outer join.
I am looking for the records in the first table where the join turned up a null value(the records did not exist in the second table).
I tried a where is missing, where EQ ‘’, and where EQ ’ ‘ in the second table and every time it came up with 0 records.
Does anyone know of another way to get records where the right table has no records?

e.g.
Original Table
ID C1 C2
1 record-1 data-1
2 record-2 data-2
3 record-3 data-3
4 record-4 data-4
5 record-5 data-5

Joined table
ID C1 C2 C3
1 Y record-A other-A
3 N record-C other-C
5 Y record-E other-E

JOIN LEFT_OUTER Original_Table.ID IN Original_Table TO UNIQUE Joined_Table.ID IN Joined_Table TAG J4 as J4 END

I want the report to produce all records in Original_Table that do not exist in Joined_Table.
(2,4)

Prior to your JOIN, try:

SET ALL = ON


or

SET ALL = SQL


or, if you have a WHERE clause on the child instance

SET ALL = PASS

That worked great I had a where clause to determine if it was blank to show it.
Thanks a bunch,
Todd

Todd can you please post some of your code on this that is working? I have added the SET ALL = PASS above my join and it is still not working?
