In cases like this, it's probably better if it had never worked rather than failing for no apparent reason once it got
intoproduction.

I've recast this as the following to allow for more fields without adding a subselect for each field.
update dl_profile set
_incomingSubject= calc._incomingSubject
...
from (select
profiler(concat(dl_event._eventDate,dl_event._incomingSubject) as _incomingSubject
...
from dl_event where dl_event._donorNum='6'
and dl_event._flDeleted='f'
) as calc
where dl_profile._donorNum='6';
This is working now, thanks for the help.
