I haven't examined the entire query but the above line appears to
be the problem.  Did you mean to write the following?

  COALESCE(UPPER(SUBSTR("X"."Firma",1,7)),'') =
Yes, that's what I wanted to write. However, it only works when I change the order of UPPER and SUBSTR in the statement.

I still don't believe that order of UPPER and SUBSTR is relevant
to the syntax error.  Please post two complete queries, one with
the order that works and one with the order that doesn't.

I'm terribly sorry, I found the mistake in my expression. There was one bracket missing. That's why the one expression worked and the other didn't. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Regards,
Hermann
