You can achieve this by joining tables together using left join (or inner join, depending on your data and needs). Your sample above appears to be missing some information (such as where the Employee Number is coming from), but the general structure you need is like this:

SQL

select FIELD1, FIELD2 from table1
left join table2 on table1.DLCode = table2.EDLCode

Solution 2

i have done the left outer join, but i am getting the wrong desc. if i display both desc fields on my report, for certain edlcodes i am getting 2 desc. one from table 1 and the other from table 2.

the emp # is coming form another table. i didn't think it was needed for my question, sorry about that.

is there any other way a achieve what i want? for example in a if/loop statement?

My solution above wasn't to be taken literally, it was the way to go about it with the correct tables. Clearly you need to list all tables and their fields that appear in the result set, otherwise we can only give our best guess rather than an actual solution. Post the full set of tables that the fields in the result set come from.

please see below, all joined with left outer join.
primary table is PREA,
prea.prco to [all_tables].prco
prea.employee to prel.employee
prea.edlcode to prdl.dlcode
prea.edltype to prdl.dltype
prea.edlcode to prec.earncode

SQL

SELECT [PRCo]
      ,[EarnCode]
      ,[Description]
  FROM [bPREC]


SELECT [PRCo]
      ,[DLCode]
      ,[Description]
      ,[DLType]
  FROM [bPRDL]

SELECT [PRCo]
      ,[Employee]
      ,[EDLType]
      ,[EDLCode]
  FROM [bPREA]

SELECT [PRCo]
      ,[Employee]
      ,[LeaveCode]
  FROM [bPREL]

hope the above helps
