Hi

Script if following:

UPDATE PRICE
SET OLD_COST = (SELECT a.LIST_PRICE
FROM PURCHASE_SUPPLIER a, PRICE b
WHERE a.PART_NO = b.PART_NO
AND a.CURRENCY_CODE = 'FIM'
AND a.VENDOR_NO = '1232'
AND b.PART_NO in (SELECT a.PART_NO
FROM PURCHASE_SUPPLIER aa, PRICE bb
WHERE aa.PART_NO = bb.PART_NO
AND aa.CURRENCY_CODE = 'FIM'
AND aa.VENDOR_NO = '1232'
AND bb.new_part_cost IS NOT NULL))

Error message: ERROR at line 2:
ORA-01427: single-row subquery returns more than one row

But SELECT -statement is right, I think. Pleace help me.

What is the output of only Select statement when u run it separately?
If the no of rows > 1 you need to correct your select statement.

If you do not want to write a procedure...

Do this:

SELECT 'UPDATE PRICE
SET OLD_COST = '||a.LIST_PRICE||';'
FROM PURCHASE_SUPPLIER a, PRICE b
WHERE a.PART_NO = b.PART_NO
AND a.CURRENCY_CODE = 'FIM'
AND a.VENDOR_NO = '1232'
AND b.PART_NO in (SELECT a.PART_NO
FROM PURCHASE_SUPPLIER aa, PRICE bb
WHERE aa.PART_NO = bb.PART_NO
AND aa.CURRENCY_CODE = 'FIM'
AND aa.VENDOR_NO = '1232'
AND bb.new_part_cost IS NOT NULL);

Run this query and make sure you get the right data. Spool it to a file and Enter (run your query again). Spool off and @ your file.

Before you spool don't forget
SET FEEDBACK OFF
SET PAGESIZE 1000

If your LIST_PRICE is not NUMBER, surroung it with not one, but 3 '''. Like '''||LIST_PRICE||'';'

Good luck!
