Question : SELECT CRITERIA WITH GROUP BY PROBLEM

The user will need to list names of candidates with a particular last name, or those applying for a particular title.
I have 2 tables - candidate and roster history detail (rhd). A candidate may or may not be in rhd, or may have
applied for multiple titles and have multiple records in rhd. I want all names from the Candidate table, no matter
their status in rhd.

The criteria passed to this will either be by name ( or title, or both.

I am trying to pass values to the WHERE clause to narrow the results, but don't want these columns included in the
GROUP BY clause. I have a mental block about how to approach this - I keep hitting this problem over and over.
Any clarification would be appreciated!

I am now getting these results:

97201      000-00-0000      BOB      A      BERG      INSTRUCTOR
41433      000-00-0000      CHERYL      B      BERG
200476      000-00-0000      DAVID            BERG      RECREATION AIDE
160441      000-00-0000      ELLA            BERG      CLERK TYPIST
160441      000-00-0000      ELLA            BERG      SCHOOL MONITOR
160441      000-00-0000      ELLA            BERG      SCHOOL TEACHER AIDE

I want:

97201      000-00-0000      BOB      A      BERG
41433      000-00-0000      CHERYL      B      BERG
200476      000-00-0000      DAVID            BERG
160441      000-00-0000      ELLA            BERG

Code Snippet:
