Syntax error in the case statment

[allik7]

I am have a problem with this section of code. When I place the select statemnet in a string variable i get an syntax error at RTRIM. Can the Case section be used in a string variable i am wondering

Cust_Org_Name =
CASE WHEN C.CustomerType ='+'I'+'THEN RTRIM(CL.Lastna me)
WHEN C.CustomerType = '+'E'+'THEN RTRIM(CL.Custom ername)
END,

Thanks for your assistance

One thing that stands out.
I think this ...'THEN... should be this ...' THEN... ie you need a space between ' and THEN because the above code comes out as

CASE WHEN C.CustomerType =ITHEN RTRIM(CL.Lastna me) WHEN C.CustomerType = ETHEN RTRIM(CL.Custom ername) END,

There is no such command as ITHEN or ETHEN and therefore you get a syntax error

Oh, and there is no reason you can't do what you are trying to do.
The info you provide leaves a bit puzzled at what you are doing but there is enough info to show that you are not trying to do something that can't be done.

Just found your other post relating to this so I put an answer there also.
Hope it helps

I did what u said i should do and the error went somewhere else the error now look like this
Msg 4104, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The multi-part identifier "D.TransactionT ype" could not be bound.
Msg 207, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Invalid column name 'TransactionId' .
Msg 4104, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The multi-part identifier "T.TransactionD ate" could not be bound.
Msg 4104, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The multi-part identifier "T.TransactionA mount" could not be bound.
Msg 207, Level 16, State 1, Line 2
Invalid column name 'TransactionQua ntity'.
Msg 207, Level 16, State 1, Line 3

and the fields are valid. What could be the problem

[Delerna]

that means we fixed the first problem and now there are more.
Ill go to your other post and have a look at the full code there

Can I ask why you are using a dynamic query.
At first glance I can't see any reason why you shouldnt be using a regular query.

Another problem I see is that you can't referece a variable in a dynamic SQL string that is declared outside of the string.

Its also quite a large query, maybe youve gone over the 1000 characters you declared the string variable as.

also there are quite a lot of instances where you will need to add the + char(38) + in order to get the ' into the string.

I suggest you try copying the query into another query analyser window and change it into a regular query. It will be much easier to find the errors.

Unless of course there is a valid reason for it being dynamic.

also this isn't correct in the field selection section

Cust_Org_Name = CASE WHEN C.CustomerType ='I' THEN RTRIM(CL.Lastname)WHEN C.CustomerType = 'E' THEN RTRIM(CL.Customername)END

it should like this

CASE WHEN C.CustomerType ='I' THEN RTRIM(CL.Lastname)WHEN C.CustomerType = 'E' THEN RTRIM(CL.Customername)END as Cust_Org_Name

Here is your query as a standard query as best I could.
I may have missed a few things.
I have a feeling that this query is going to be quite slow due to there being subqueries in the selection fields, for example lines 34 and 35.

Declare @String as nVarChar(1000)

Declare @Ind as Char(1),@Com as Char(1),@BAC3 as Char(1)
Declare @BAC1 as Char(1),@BAC2 as Char(1),@BAC4 as Char(1)
Declare @current as varChar(7),@saving as varChar(6)
Declare @move as varChar(12),@Other as varChar(5)
Declare @new as varChar(3),@old as varChar(3),@back as varChar(10)

set @Ind = 'I'
set @Com = 'E'
set @BAC1 = 'C' 
set @BAC2 = 'S'

Set @saving = 'Saving'
Set @move = 'Money Market'

Delerna suppose i want to place the slection in a temp table where would i put the INSERT INTO #TEMP

[Delerna]

INSERT INTO #TEMP
SELECT.....the rest of the query

Does that make sense
