| Hello there.i have a sp with a parameter called @type.the @parameter will except either. 1,2 or 3i want a case that says 1 = First, 2 second. which is the easy bit.but when 3 is entered i want the case to include a couple of items.eg set @type = (select case @typeSelectionwhen '3' then 'first', 'second', 'third' else @typeSelection end)The result will end up in a where clause in another select statement iewhere selection in (@type )is there a way round this?RegardsRob |

Put the case expression into the WHERE clause.where selection in (case @typeSelection when '3' then ' ''first'', ''second'', ''third'' ' else @typeSelection end)

you dont have to do that you can simply add a OR condition likeOR @param=''so that it bypasses filter when '' and gives you all the values------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SQL Server MVPhttp://visakhm.blogspot.com/ |
