SQLSCRIPT: sql syntax error: incorrect syntax near "AS"

nathan23 — Tue, 17 May 2022 08:02:25 GMT

Hi 
CASE WHEN (inTab."/BIC/C55CONTID" is NOT null) 
               THEN      
               CASE WHEN (inTab."/BIC/CRCBECFVN" >1 ) THEN
                    (SELECT "/BIC/K5SCDCEC" FROM "/BIC/AZD_TVOG2"  WHERE "/BIC/AZD_TVOG2"."/BIC/CRCBECFVN" = 1) AS "/BIC/K5SCDCEC",
                 ELSE 
                   "/BIC/K5SCDCEC" AS "/BIC/K5SCDCEC"
                   END
				   END

after writing this logic gives me an error on the AS, can you tell me the reason?

Hi Danilo,

the keyword AS has no place in a CASE expression. When you want to calculate a column with this expression, the AS should be placed after the outer END. If you show us the whole statement, then we can help you better.

B.t.w: the red marking and the formatting makes it difficult to read. Readable formatted questions have a better chance to get answered. You can use the CODE feature when creating a question:

Hi i update with code

i implement this

FOR EACH C55CONTID, IF CRCBECFVN >1, THEN RETRIEVE THE VALUES FROM K5SCDCEC HAVING CRCBECFVN =1

can you fix my code ?

Hi Danilo,

thank you for the code update. You should give us a little more information about the context. Are we talking about HANA SQL, SQL Anywhere or MS SQL Server? You selected all tags. To what database should the expected answer fit? When its an AMDP: Show us the whole code of the AMDP Class.

From your last comment I'll guess:

You should do a LEFT OUTER JOIN of INTAB with /BIC/AZD_TVOG2 and then do a CASE in the fieldlist to select either the value from the INTAB or from the other table.

Regards,

Jörg

Re: SQLSCRIPT: sql syntax error: incorrect syntax near "AS"

nathan23 — Tue, 17 May 2022 12:54:22 GMT

is inside a select and in practice I have to value the field / BA1 / K5SCDCEC, if this condition is verified "FOR EACH C55CONTID, IF CRCBECFVN> 1, THEN RETRIEVE THE VALUES FROM K5SCDCEC HAVING CRCBECFVN = 1".

I have to replace "/ BIC / K5SCDCEC" AS "/ BIC / K5SCDCEC", with the above formula, I hope I was clear

If I got it right, you should use AS in a different place of the code. But I have not checked it on my instance.

CASE WHEN (inTab."/BIC/C55CONTID" is NOT null) 
               THEN      
               CASE WHEN (inTab."/BIC/CRCBECFVN" >1 ) THEN
                    (SELECT "/BIC/K5SCDCEC" AS "/BIC/K5SCDCEC" FROM "/BIC/AZD_TVOG2" WHERE "/BIC/AZD_TVOG2"."/BIC/CRCBECFVN" = 1) ,
                 ELSE 
                   "/BIC/K5SCDCEC" AS "/BIC/K5SCDCEC"
                   END
				   END

Hi Danilo,

the code should look somehow like this:

Please note the comments. And you may have to make some adjustments, since I don't know the exact table structures and possible data constellations.

Hi,

like everyone else said, you have "AS" in the wrong place, but also I see two CASE WHEN but only one ELSE statements, you might want to check that part.
