Hi,
Please read SQL and PL/SQL FAQ
Additionally when you put some code please enclose it between two lines starting with {noformat}{noformat}
i.e.:
{noformat}{noformat}
SELECT ...
{noformat}{noformat}
From what I have found on MS SQL documentation it seems that TOP keyword limits the output to a specified percentage of total number of rows. In your case, having specified 100, you are returning 100% of rows.
So you can simply remove *TOP (100) PERCENT*
