| Its not clear. If you want to get zip codes against docs, then your query should be like:select substring(FO_JURIS, 2, 3) DOC,Clmssn, bicnum, dowr_rcpdt, cossn, Inet_ind, <ZipCode column>from iclaims a join <YourOtherTable> b on a.Doc=b.<Doc Column name in 2nd table> |

| Sorry... my table is called iclaims and I have a view called zipcodes. I want to join table iclaims on the view zipcodes. They both have DOC as fields that I can join on. |

| ok. You can use a view like a table that you join normally. Decide on the type of join basis your requirements. I'm just putting an inner join to illustrate.select substring(FO_JURIS, 2, 3) DOC,Clmssn, bicnum, dowr_rcpdt, cossn, Inet_ind, b.<ZipCode column>from iclaims a join zipcodes b on a.Doc=b.Doc |

| almost there my problem is since I'm using substring(FO_JURIS, 2, 3) and calling that field DOC it's saying invalid column name Doc in line 2. The substring column is called FO_JURIS but after I get out what I want I want it to be called DOC to join it on the view. Can I do this? select substring(FO_JURIS, 2, 3) DOC,Clmssn, bicnum, dowr_rcpdt, cossn, Inet_ind, b.Docfrom iclaims a join zipcodes b on a.Doc=b.Doc |

| Use the existing name while joining,select substring(FO_JURIS, 2, 3) DOC,Clmssn, bicnum, dowr_rcpdt, cossn, Inet_ind, b.Docfrom iclaims a join zipcodes b on substring(a.FO_JURIS, 2, 3)=b.Doc |
