THANX FOR U BUT HOW USE GROUP BY IN THIS QUERY What makes you think there's anything wrong with it?
Are you getting an error message? If so, post the error message.
Are you getting the wrong results? If so, describe.
Whenever you post any code, format it to show the extent of major sections (sub-queries, nested functions, nested anything, multi-part concats, ...
Whenever there's a lot of code between a '(' and its matching ')', put them on separate lines, indent them the same amount, and indent everything in between them at least that much.
Type these 6 characters:
{code}
(all small letters, inside curly brackets) before and after sections of formatted text.
The longer the code is, the more important it is to do this.
It looks like you're doing something like this:
Select  sum (debt)     debt
,     sum (credit)     credit
from     (
     Select  ( SUM (l.ENTERED_DR)
          - SUM (l.ENTERED_CR)
          )               Debt,
          SUM (l.ENTERED_CR)
           - SUM (l.ENTERED_CR)     Credit
     from      gl_code_combinations M,
     where     ...
     AND      H.DEFAULT_EFFECTIVE_DATE BETWEEN :FROM_DATE AND :TO_DATE
     AND     (     N.user_je_category_name   NOT LIKE 'PAS_%'
          AND     N.user_je_category_name   NOT LIKE 'WS_%'
          OR     N.user_je_category_name   LIKE     'RE_%'
GROUP BY  M.SEGMENT2
,            (    M.segment1   || '.'
         || M.segment2   || '.'
         || M. segment3  || '.'
         || M.segment4   || '.'
         || M. segment5  || '.'
         || M.segment6
-- Need   ) here?That is, the main query is based on an in-line view.
The only columns in that in-line view are debt and credit.
If you want to reference columns like segment1, segemnt2, ... in the main query, then you have to include them in the SELECT clause of the in-line view.
(Since the in-line view is a UNION, remember to include them in both SELECT clauses.)
Table alias M is only defined inside each branch of the UNION. In the main query, you'll reference the columns as segment1, segment2, ...
The following two items may be giving you the right results now, but even if so, they are accidents waiting to happen, and should be fixed.
(1) What is the data type of gl_je_headers.default_effective_date?
If it's a DATE then only compare it to other DATEs. Unfortunately, bind variables can't be DATEs, so you'll have to do something like:
...     AND      H.DEFAULT_EFFECTIVE_DATE  BETWEEN TO_DATE (:FROM_DATE, 'DD-MON-YYYY')
                           AND        TO_DATE (:TO_DATE,   'DD-MON-YYYY')(2) Never mix AND and OR.
You probably need another layer of parentheses somewhere around:
...     AND     (     N.user_je_category_name   NOT LIKE 'PAS_%'
          AND     N.user_je_category_name   NOT LIKE 'WS_%'
          OR     N.user_je_category_name   LIKE     'RE_%'
          )Maybe
...     AND     (   (     N.user_je_category_name   NOT LIKE 'PAS_%'
              AND     N.user_je_category_name   NOT LIKE 'WS_%'
          OR     N.user_je_category_name   LIKE     'RE_%'
          )It looks like credit will always be 0 (or NULL) in the first branch of the UNION. Is that what you meant?
