I've found this type of solution on the net for invalid column name to wrap the statement in a select * from (Select ...)and tried to apply it to my statement below but I get several errors because of the inner joins. I'm trying to get trackno to work in the where clause.

Select * from(
SELECT Distinct tp.surname_nm, tp.given_nm, tp.scn, ttl_data.case_id_ds + ttl_data.case_mstr + ttl_data.trk_seq AS track,
CASE ttl_data.p_cc
When ttl_data.cc then ttl_data.cc + '-' + ttl_data.ia + '-' + ttl_data.case_id +'-' + ttl_data.case_line + '-' + ttl_data.wcn
ELSE ttl_data.cc + '-' + ttl_data.ia + '-' + ttl_data.case_id + ttl_data.case_line +' -'+ ttl_data.wcn + '(' + ttl_data.p_cc +')' END as trackno,
prog_mess.case_id_ds,prog_mess.case_mstr,prog_mess.trk_seq,prog_mess.trk_ln_seq,prog_mess.eff_dt,prog_mess.prior_dt,prog_mess.last_dt,prog_mess.pub_cmnt, RTRIM(progress_message.title_nm) + ' (' + RTRIM(prog_mess.pg_mess_id) + ')' as comment
From tp
Inner JOIN ttl_data on LEFT(tp.trk_link,20) = ttl_data.case_id_ds + ttl_data.case_mstr + ttl_data.trk_seq
inner Join prog_mess on LEFT(tp.trk_link,20) = prog_mess.case_id_ds + prog_mess.case_mstr + prog_mess.trk_seq
Left Join progress_message on progress_message.progress_m = prog_mess.pg_mess_id) as abc
WHERE tp.scn = @scn and tp.action_cd <> 'D' AND ttype in('IMS','CLO') and title_nm is not null and trackno = 'AT-B-OEA-001-0253'
Order by prog_mess.eff_dt Desc

The main issue is that your derived table ABC contains all the columns. But, in the where clause you are referncing the base tables and not the derived table alias and you are referncing coluns that aren't even in the derived table.

Bad table refernce: tp.scn needs to be ABC.scn, etc..
Non Existant columns: title_nm and ttype.

Thanks for your help. I got it working by reworking what I had written.
