I am working on a Function that takes multiple parameters. I have a query that populates a temporary table, and then it processes some logic. My question is, if the parameter is passed as null, I dont want the query to be affected by this null value. Rather, I would like to not pass it at all to the query. So if the parameter is NULL, dont pass it through the query. I have the following but its not compiling right:

SELECT bom.pEngr_BOM_ID , bom.fEngr_Item_ID, det.pEngr_BOM_Detail_ID, 1, bom.Bill_Type, bom.Rev_Ltr, bom.Series_Ltr
FROM dbo.Engr_BOM_Control bom WITH (nolock)
INNER JOIN dbo.Engr_BOM_Detail det WITH (nolock)
ON det.fEngr_BOM_ID=bom.pEngr_BOM_ID
WHERE bom.pEngr_BOM_ID=@v_pEngr_BOM_ID
AND det.fEngr_BOM_ID=@v_pEngr_BOM_ID
CASE WHEN @v_Bill_Type IS NOT NULL THEN
AND bom.Bill_Type=@v_Bill_Type
END

use like this:-

SELECT bom.pEngr_BOM_ID , bom.fEngr_Item_ID, det.pEngr_BOM_Detail_ID, 1, bom.Bill_Type, bom.Rev_Ltr, bom.Series_Ltr
FROM dbo.Engr_BOM_Control bom WITH (nolock)
INNER JOIN dbo.Engr_BOM_Detail det WITH (nolock)
ON det.fEngr_BOM_ID=bom.pEngr_BOM_ID
WHERE bom.pEngr_BOM_ID=@v_pEngr_BOM_ID
AND det.fEngr_BOM_ID=@v_pEngr_BOM_ID
AND (bom.Bill_Type=@v_Bill_Type OR @v_Bill_Type IS NULL)
END

USE COALESCE function to handle NULL values. Set the column equal to itself when the parameter is null, so you'll get a 1=1 type thing.

COALESCE function works beautifully!

SELECT bom.pEngr_BOM_ID , bom.fEngr_Item_ID, det.pEngr_BOM_Detail_ID, 1, bom.Bill_Type, bom.Rev_Ltr, bom.Series_Ltr
FROM dbo.Engr_BOM_Control bom WITH (nolock)
INNER JOIN dbo.Engr_BOM_Detail det WITH (nolock)
ON det.fEngr_BOM_ID=bom.pEngr_BOM_ID
WHERE bom.pEngr_BOM_ID=@v_pEngr_BOM_ID
AND det.fEngr_BOM_ID=@v_pEngr_BOM_ID
AND bom.Bill_Type = COALESCE(@v_Bill_Type, bom.Bill_Type)

good stuff! Thanks!
