Hi,

Can someone let me know what's wrong with this syntax? I keep getting an error. Thank you!

Update reports.nraa SET act_type =
if ((ctype in ('0','7','I'), 1, if (ctype in ('A','L','O') , 2,3))

use CASE instead of if

Update reports.nraa 
SET act_type =
CASE WHEN ctype in ('0','7','I')
THEN 1
WHEN ctype in ('A','L','O') 
THEN 2
ELSE 3
END
