Hey guys, I am trying to gather all the text from a Description field on multiple liens, and insert it into one. It hits the first line, then doesn't find the rest. I know for this criteria, there are 4 lines with different descriptions. Here is my code:

update ps_doc_note
NOTE_TXT = cast(ps_doc_lin.DESCR as varchar)+ cast(NOTE_TXT as varchar), NOTE = cast(ps_doc_lin.DESCR as varchar)+ cast(NOTE_TXT as varchar)
from PS_DOC_LIN
full join ps_doc_note
on PS_DOC_LIN.DOC_ID = PS_DOC_NOTE.DOC_ID
where item_no = '13' and ps_doc_lin.DOC_ID = 108109492327

Thanks,

update ps_doc_note
NOTE_TXT = STUFF((SELECT ' ' + DESCR FROM PS_DOC_LIN WHERE DOC_ID = ps_doc_note.DOC_ID FOR XML PATH('')),1,1,'')
FROM ps_doc_note
