RE: Passing 2 parameters into a nested select statement

I'm not sure if this is what you're lookng for, but here is valid syntax for nested selects:

select     icons,
           admdatetime,
           ther,
           therin
from       inpatient
where      icons  Between 85 and 93
and        (icons, admdatetime) in
           (select icons, max(admdatetime)
           from inpatient
           group by icons)
