That wasn't part of your original requirement, which is why no one accounted for it.
Try:
DECLARE @A TABLE (Ename char(10), ED char(4), EE char(4), EG char(4)) INSERT INTO @A (Ename, ED, ee, eg) VALUES ('214129-03','03','CAS','GRP'), ('214130-04','04','PER','GRP'), ('214132-06','06','CAS','GRP') DECLARE @B TABLE (Ename1 char(10), ED1 char(4), EE1 char(4), EG1 char(4)) INSERT INTO @B (Ename1, ED1, EE1, EG1) VALUES ('214129','03','CAS','GRP'), ('214130','04','CAS','GRP'), ('214132','06','TAS','GRP') SELECT * FROM @A a INNER JOIN @b b ON LEFT(a.ename,CHARINDEX('-',a.ename)-1) = b.Ename1 AND ( a.ED <> b.ED1 OR a.EE <> b.EE1 OR a.EG <> b.EG1 )
