It's better to use JOINs and formatimg to make your query readable
SELECT linemarkinghead.icustno, customers.ccompany, sites.name ;
	FROM linemarkinghead ;
		JOIN customers ON linemarkinghead.icustno = customers.icustno ;
		JOIN sites ON linemarkinghead.siteno = sites.code ;
	INTO CURSOR tmp
The only way you get more records by adding joins, if there're duplicate icustno in customers or/and code in sites.
