That's because JOBNO has a data type of VarChar. Try:
Code: Select all
SELECT MAX(CAST(JOBNO AS INTEGER)) FROM DS_JOBS;

Ray - Everytime you give out some new stuff. May I know what 'DET.SUP' used in your query for. Is it to suppress the Description information?

Detail Suppression. Run the query with and without and you shall see, my young Padawan.

Do a google on "Universe ODBC guide" and it will lead you to quite a few other useful documents.

Unlike Yoda I don't put verbs at the ends of sentences. Unless in Latin, of course.
