-----------------------------------------

Hello, I was planning to look into this...but I'm not yet understand the goal 
of the query; could you give a smaller example possibly?
By using "unbounded preceeding" you would like to get the maximum so-far - am I 
correct?

hmm...you've written "rows unbounded preceding and unbounded following" but 
your query only contains unbounded preceding...

Could you give a sample which can be executed? 
{code}
create table t (a int,b int);
insert into t values (1,1),(1,2),(1,3),(2,4),(2,5),(2,6),(3,7),(3,8),(3,9);
select a,b,sum(b) over (partition by a order by b rows unbounded preceding) 
from t;
{code}

> Hi,
> I see MAX window function is throwing error if I use more than one order by 
> clause. But when I use window clause (rows), it works fine but the results 
> are not as expected as shown below.
> From the data shown below, I was expecting max_individual_id should be 42562 
> for all the individuals under same HICN_NBR but I am getting different 
> results. I tried "rows unbounded preceding and unbounded following" but 
> results are still not as expected. Please let me know if this is an issue?
> Query:
> select individual_id, MAX(individual_id) over (partition by HICN_NBR order by 
> eff_dt desc, cncl_dt desc, individual_id desc rows unbounded preceding) as 
> max_individual_id,
>        hicn_nbr, eff_dt, cncl_dt
> from MFW_MeasureMembership_BOTH MM 
> where Remove_ASH <> 1 and Remove_AGB <> 1 and Remove_FARM_151 <> 1 and 
> Remove_JCA <> 1 and Remove_CVTY <> 1
>       and trim(HICN_NBR)='15248461314T';
