HELP WITH TRYING TO DO A FIXED ASSETS REPORT IN DISCOVERER

Question

Hi...
I'll try and explain this simply as I can.
I am trying to do a Disco report to basically list the asset numbers with the cost, the opening depreciation, the YTD depreciation, Accumulated depreciation and the remaining life of the asset.
I can get most of the data from the FABG_DEPRECIATIONS table.
The report will be run for a specific period say for example 05-2008. The problem I have is that for some of the assets there won't have been any depreciation for the year 2008 but I still need those assets to appear on the report showing the cost, opening depreciation etc.
But because the report is being run for a specific period say 05-2008 in this example these assets that have no depreciation for the period are not being displayed on the report.
As there isn't a field (I couldn't find one in any of the tables)that has the opening depreciation I have used a calculation for this which is Accumulated Depreciation - YTD depreciation. This is where my problem is. For those assets that have had no depreciation in the current year being reported on it should use the accumulated depreciation for say 12-2007 as the opening depreciation for the year 2008.
So in the example of reporting for period 05-2008, it show the opening depreciation which would be the accumulated depreciation for 12-2007 and 0 (zero) for YTD depreciation.
That is why I have attempted without success to use a union statement. The sql is below.
I would be very grateful for some help with this please.

Hi...
I've changed the custom code and used an embedded sql instead of a union but I still don't get the required info. I think it's down to the conditions. Can someone please help? Thanks.
This is the revised code:
select apps.fabg_depreciations.asset_id Asset_Number
,apps.fabg_depreciations.ytd_deprn YTD_Deprn
,apps.fabg_depreciations.deprn_amount Deprn_Amount
,apps.fabg_depreciations.accumulated_deprn Accumulated_Deprn
,apps.fabg_depreciations.reval_reserve Reval_reserve
,apps.fabg_acct_prds.period_name Period
,apps.fabg_asset_bks.original_cost Original_Cost
,apps.fabg_asset_bks.cost Cost
,apps.fabg_assets.asset_category_id Category_ID
,OD.accumulated_deprn Opening_Dep
,apps.fabg_asset_cats.description Description
from apps.fabg_depreciations
, apps.fabg_acct_prds

,(select fabg_depreciations.asset_id, fabg_depreciations.accumulated_deprn, fabg_depreciations.period_counter from apps.fabg_depreciations) OD
where apps.fabg_depreciations.book_type_code= 'ASSETS CCA'
and apps.fabg_asset_bks.asset_id=apps.fabg_assets.asset_id
and apps.fabg_assets.asset_id = OD.asset_id
and apps.fabg_assets.asset_id=apps.fabg_depreciations.asset_id
