1. What is the intended logic here? A FOR SELECT loop processes
multiple rows. Are you expecting to get a sum on every row? That's
illogical. If you want to aggregate ULAZ and IZLAZ, then SUM() is
not what you want here. You would need to accumulate them
respectively into R_ULAZ_SUM and R_IZLAZ_SUM.

2. What *are* the correct values?

3. What are the data types of ULAZ and IZLAZ?
