 <-- Anonymously Posted: Friday, July 20, 2007 14:46 --> The error is your SUBSTRING expression. No idea why MINUS versus EXCEPT makes a difference. Valid syntax is either 
     SUBSTR(string,startpos,len)
     SUBSTRING(string FROM startpos FOR len)
 If you want full ANSI compliance, consider using the ANSI function syntax for SUBSTRING and use POSITION instead of INDEX
