You could try
SELECT MAX(datecolumn), patientnumber,testcode from sometable group by
patientnumber, testcode, datecolumn

Subject: [RBASE-L] - extracting the most recent data
Hi all
I have a very long skinny table, 3 columns.
A date, a patient number and test code.
I want to extract the rows that are the most recent test code for each patient.
If patient #3000 has had testcode # 80015 10 times over the last year, then I
only want the most recent row for that testcode/patient combination
Is there a single command that can do that?
Mike
