Merging corresponding coloumns of multiple rows to get a single row

Question

hi,
plz help me in sorting out this problem.this is my query.
select distinct h.ccid,
DECODE(a.prmcd,'ELEREP', sum(d.period_net_dr - d.period_net_cr)) A,
DECODE(a.prmcd,'GENREP', sum(d.period_net_dr - d.period_net_cr)) B
DECODE(a.prmcd,'BLDGREP', sum(d.period_net_dr - d.period_net_cr)) C,
DECODE(a.prmcd,'MCREP', sum(d.period_net_dr - d.period_net_cr)) D,
DECODE(a.prmcd,'SPARES', sum(d.period_net_dr - d.period_net_cr)) E
from fics_prmtrval a,
figl_code_combinations_mview_1 c,
figl_balances_mview_1 d,
fims_comstr e,
FIMS_PCSCMSTR f,
FIMS_CCMSTR g,
FIMS_CODECOMBINATIONS h
where a.prmcd in('ELEREP', 'GENREP', 'MCREP', 'BLDGREP', 'SPARES')
and a.prmval = c.segment4
and c.code_combination_id = d.code_combination_id
and e.cocd = c.segment1
and f.PCSCCD = C.SeGMENT2
and g.CCCD = C.SEGMENT3
and h.COID = e.coid
and h.PCID = f.PCSCID
and h.CCID = g.CCID
and h.stid = 1
and h.coid = 1
and h.pcid = 1
group by h.ccid,
g.ccnm,
a.prmcd
the output of this is :
CCID      A     B     C     D      E
16     1                    
16          2               
17     3                    
17          4               
17               5          
17                    6
but i need the out put in the following format:
CCID      A     B     C     D      E
16     1     2               
17     3     4     5     6     
plz suggest me a possible solution for this

Hi,
Enclose all your decodes by MAX like this MAX( DECODE(...)) and group your result by ccid column only and remove the distinct key word( it is not needed since you will be already grouping on ccid so distinct would be kind of redundant ).
For any furthur clarifications refer this link, it is easy to follow.
