"HAVING" problems with query and using 'having' with group by

George

Hi,
I am trying to write a query in Oracle which I have not done before,
and are having some difficulty getting my result.

Please check my query and my results.

select max(note.datetime),
acgr.group_code,
bank.local_acc_no,
bank.short_name,
DECODE
(bank.account_type,
0,'Nostro',
1,'Internal',
2,'Safe Keeping',
3,'Draft',
4,'Vostro',
5,'Suspense',
6,'Exchange',
7,'Netting',
8,'Mutual Funds',
'UNKNOWN') AS "Acc Type",
item.gin,
item.value_date,
item.entry_date,
item.ls_type AS "LS Type",
item.currency AS "Currency",
item.amount AS "Amount",
item.sfield_7 AS "SField 7",
item.sfield_8 AS "SField 8",
item.sfield_9 AS "SField 9",
item.bran_code,
note.notetext
FROM
grup,
acgr,
bank,
item,
note
WHERE grup.group_code = acgr.group_code
AND acgr.corr_acc_no = bank.corr_acc_no
AND bank.corr_acc_no = item.corr_acc_no
AND item.corr_acc_no = note.corr_acc_no
AND item.gin = note.gin
AND item.flag_2 = 0
AND grup.group_code = 'GMSAZSGREC99'
and bank.account_type in (0)
group by acgr.group_code,
bank.local_acc_no,
bank.short_name,
bank.account_type,
item.gin,
item.value_date,
item.entry_date,
item.ls_type,
item.currency,
item.amount,
item.sfield_7,
item.sfield_8,
item.sfield_9,
item.bran_code,
note.notetext
a subset of the Results (I have taken some colums out to make it a
little
easier to read)

What I want to achieve is all records with a maximum datetime for each
GIN showing the notetext details.

Example of what I want to achieve.

I have got the above result by removing the notetext field from the
above query,
but I do require the field. I have also tried to use

having note.datetime = max(note.datetime)

In the above query but the version of Oracle (which i don't what is)
gives me
ORA-00979: not a GROUP BY expression. Which I don't get in Sybase...?

Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
GM
