    jcrawf02,

    can you explain this:

    ISNULL(count(distinct #PLANDATA_Claim.claimid),0) AS "FFS",

    What ISNULL is doing here?

    I have three environments that I need to query to find my data. #files table is in one, #PLANDATA is another, #ENCOUNTER is the third.

    I am counting distinct claimids from #PLANDATA (user knows it as FFS) or #ENCOUNTER (user knows it as Encounter) and returning that value within the same row of the result set.

    I'm basically changing the total to 0 for this column in the result set in the case that there aren't any claimids, so that it won't be null.
