| I am using the below code within a Stored Procedure to see if a number exists in a column in a table and depending on whether it does or not I am doing an Insert.Problem is I keep getting this error message when I try to save the Stored Procedure "Incorrect syntax near '=', Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'Else'".Anyone any ideas what the problem is?Thanks macca.IF EXISTS (SELECT @tempNum = Num FROM GenNum WHERE @serOff = SO) BEGIN SET @tempNumTwo = @tempNum + 1 INSERT INTO GenNum(SO, Num) VALUES(@serOff,@tempNumTwo) ENDELSE BEGIN INSERT INTO GenNum(SO, Num) VALUES(@serOff,@tempNum) END |

| You cannot assign value to a variable while using EXISTS. May be something like this..DECLARE @tempNum INTSELECT @tempNum = Num FROM GenNum WHERE SO = @serOffINSERT GenNum(SO, Num)SELECT @serOff, CASE WHEN @tempNum IS NULL THEN NULL ELSE @tempNum + 1 END |
