Splunk DB Connect 2: How to get one search as input to another search in the same dbxquery?

All my data for this query is using DBX and one table.

I have to select Field A from DBname where Field B=open connection information
Then I need to match the Field A for the following (I only want the Field A values that appear from this query to run against):

select Field A, Field C from DBname where Field B=closed AND Field D > timevalue

Then I am just going to count by Field A Field B for some trending views

Essentially, I am looking at hosts with open tickets, then wanting to trend past outages for only those currently open hosts.

These both work independently.
I've tried subsearch, writing one of them to a lookup, but I'm just not skilled enough yet to figure out how to evaluate the two against each other.

I'd appreciate any suggestions. Thanks

I figured it out - just had to do a join - go figure.
