Row_id_no is the column.
This is the code
SELECT max(DWT40034_BZL_VAT_TAX.ROW_ID_NO)
from (select DWT40034_BZL_VAT_TAX.INTGRT_CNTRY_CD, DWT40034_BZL_VAT_TAX.ORD, DWT40034_BZL_VAT_TAX.ORD_LN,
max(DWT40034_BZL_VAT_TAX.INTGRT_SRC_TRX_DT)
from dbo.DWT40034_BZL_VAT_TAX
where DWT40034_BZL_VAT_TAX.ETL_PROC_STAT = 1
group by DWT40034_BZL_VAT_TAX.INTGRT_CNTRY_CD, DWT40034_BZL_VAT_TAX.ORD, DWT40034_BZL_VAT_TAX.ORD_LN)

a subselect in parenthesis must have an alias;

formatting helps identiy the problem, too:

SELECT

max(DWT40034_BZL_VAT_TAX.ROW_ID_NO)

from

(

select

DWT40034_BZL_VAT_TAX.INTGRT_CNTRY_CD,

DWT40034_BZL_VAT_TAX.ORD,

DWT40034_BZL_VAT_TAX.ORD_LN,

max(DWT40034_BZL_VAT_TAX.INTGRT_SRC_TRX_DT)

from dbo.DWT40034_BZL_VAT_TAX

where DWT40034_BZL_VAT_TAX.ETL_PROC_STAT = 1

group by DWT40034_BZL_VAT_TAX.INTGRT_CNTRY_CD, DWT40034_BZL_VAT_TAX.ORD, DWT40034_BZL_VAT_TAX.ORD_LN

) MyAlias

I tried the code you gave, but got error

Msg 8155, Level 16, State 2, Line 1

No column was specified for column 4 of 'MyAlias'.

Msg 4104, Level 16, State 1, Line 1

The multi-part identifier "DWT40034_BZL_VAT_TAX.ROW_ID_NO" could not be bound.

I tried this also

SELECT

max(MyAlias.ROW_ID_NO)

from

(

select

DWT40034_BZL_VAT_TAX.INTGRT_CNTRY_CD,

DWT40034_BZL_VAT_TAX.ORD,

DWT40034_BZL_VAT_TAX.ORD_LN,

max(DWT40034_BZL_VAT_TAX.INTGRT_SRC_TRX_DT)

from dbo.DWT40034_BZL_VAT_TAX

where DWT40034_BZL_VAT_TAX.ETL_PROC_STAT = 1

group by DWT40034_BZL_VAT_TAX.INTGRT_CNTRY_CD, DWT40034_BZL_VAT_TAX.ORD, DWT40034_BZL_VAT_TAX.ORD_LN

) MyAlias

But didn't work

Msg 8155, Level 16, State 2, Line 1

No column was specified for column 4 of 'MyAlias'.

Msg 207, Level 16, State 1, Line 2

Invalid column name 'ROW_ID_NO'.

the error message is the clue: you can't select the row_id_no, because it is not part of the subquery in parenthesis.

remember what i said about aliases and parenthesis? that goes for MIN()/MAX()/SUM() functions as well

SELECT

max(MyAlias.ROW_ID_NO)

from

(

select

DWT40034_BZL_VAT_TAX.ROW_ID_NO,

DWT40034_BZL_VAT_TAX.INTGRT_CNTRY_CD,

DWT40034_BZL_VAT_TAX.ORD,

DWT40034_BZL_VAT_TAX.ORD_LN,

max(DWT40034_BZL_VAT_TAX.INTGRT_SRC_TRX_DT) AS MYDATE

from dbo.DWT40034_BZL_VAT_TAX

where DWT40034_BZL_VAT_TAX.ETL_PROC_STAT = 1

group by DWT40034_BZL_VAT_TAX.ROW_ID_NO,DWT40034_BZL_VAT_TAX.INTGRT_CNTRY_CD, DWT40034_BZL_VAT_TAX.ORD, DWT40034_BZL_VAT_TAX.ORD_LN

) MyAlias
