Hi to all experts,
This is my 1st time to do programming in foxpro and would like your advice on how to solve this problem.
Here is the scenario, I have a foxpro data that has a content as below:
ITEM QTY COST
**************************
item 1 3 3.00
item 3 4 4.00
item 1 5 3.00
item 2 2 5.00
What I am trying to query here is to sum up the quantity of item 1 so that it will look as below:
ITEM QTY COST
**************************
item 1 8 3.00
item 3 4 4.00
item 2 2 5.00
Here is the source which i've done:
SELECT PSHCHKD.CKDATE, PSHCHKD.ITEM, SUM(PSHCHKD.QTY) AS TOTALQUANTITY, PSHCHKD.CHG, PSHCHKD.POST, PSHCHKD.REVCTR;
GROUP BY PSHCHKD.ITEM
INTO TABLE C:\REPORTS\DATA\GS
after running this query the error message pops up: Command is missing required clause.
Anyone who knows how to solve this problem would be much appreaciated.

SELECT PSHCHKD.CKDATE, PSHCHKD.ITEM, SUM(PSHCHKD.QTY) AS TOTALQUANTITY, PSHCHKD.CHG, PSHCHKD.POST, PSHCHKD.REVCTR;

You need to add semicolons at the end of FROM and GROUP clauses. It should all be one statement. Try Program/Compile from the menu before executing the program.
If you are using VFP8 or VFP9, you must put all non-aggregated columns in your SELECT into the GROUP BY. That is strict ANSI SQL. The workaround, to doing it right, is to issue a SET ENGINEBEHAVIOR 70 command before your older constructed statement and then let it rip.
Correctly without an ENGINEBEHAVIOR adjustment (looking weird, I know):
SELECT PSHCHKD.CKDATE, PSHCHKD.ITEM, SUM(PSHCHKD.QTY) AS TOTALQUANTITY, PSHCHKD.CHG, PSHCHKD.POST, PSHCHKD.REVCTR;
FROM C:\REPORSTS\POS\PSHCHKD
GROUP BY PSHCHKD.ITEM, PSHCHKD.CKDATE, PSHCHKD.CHG, PSHCHKD.POST, PSHCHKD.REVCTR
INTO TABLE C:\REPORTS\DATA\GS
