Query - Opening Balance

Question

Hello,
I'm using SAP 8.81 PL 6 and would like to come up with a query that displays the opening of an account at a given date.
I have checked through the forums and come across the below query which unfortunately displays no results.
SELECT T0.[TransId],T1.[Line_ID], T1.[Account],T1.[ShortName],
  T1.[Debit], T1.[Credit], T1.[RefDate]
FROM OJDT T0 INNER JOIN JDT1 T1 ON T0.TransId = T1.TransId
WHERE T0.[TransType]=-2
I will appreciate if someone assists with the query. Thank you.
Rgds,
Henry

Hi all,
Sorry for the ambiguous question. Allow me to clarify.... When you drill down to an account under Chart of accounts, the Opening Balance displays on the top, followed by subsequent transactions whose cumulative total makes up the account balance.
I came up with the below query to display an account's transactions in a given date range and most importantly to display the Offset Account Name instead of the code
SELECT T0.RefDate, T2.AcctName, T0.ContraAct, T0.Debit, T0.Credit,(T0.Debit- T0.Credit)Balance,
Case When T0.ContraAct=T4.AcctCode Then T4.AcctName Else Case When T0.ContraAct=T3.CardCode
Then T3.CardName Else Null End End 'Offset Account' FROM dbo.JDT1 T0 INNER JOIN dbo.OACT T2
ON T0.Account = T2.AcctCode LEFT JOIN OCRD T3 ON T3.CardCode=T0.ContraAct LEFT JOIN OACT T4 ON T4.AcctCode=T0.ContraAct
WHERE T0.RefDate>='%1' and T0.RefDate<='%2' and T4.AcctName LIKE '[%0]%'
I would further like to improve the above query by displaying the 'opening balance' or the balance of the account on the previous day (i.e. the day prior to T0.RefDate>='%1'). Kindly assist me on this one.

Henry
