Hi I am trying to use a variable. I have got

Select distinct(wavekey), orderkey from pickdetail
Where orderkey in
( declare
CUST string := &CUST1;
begin
Select distinct(A.orderkey) from orderdetail A
join orders B
on A.ORDERKEY = B.ORDERKEY
where (B.consigneekey = CUST and B.RFIDSSCCLABELNAME = '1') or (B.consigneekey = CUST and B.RFIDGTINLABELNAME='1')
end;)

It prompt me for it but it doesn't work.? How can I use variable even without promting.

Thanks

This doesnt seem to be SQL Server code. Which db are you using?

[code]SELECT DISTINCT(wavekey), orderkey
FROM pickdetail
WHERE orderkey IN
( DECLARE
CUST string := &CUST1;
BEGIN
SELECT DISTINCT(A.orderkey)
FROM orderdetail A
JOIN orders B
ON A.ORDERKEY = B.ORDERKEY
WHERE ( B.consigneekey = CUST
AND B.RFIDSSCCLABELNAME = '1'
)
OR ( B.consigneekey = CUST
AND B.RFIDGTINLABELNAME = '1'
)
~~END~~)[/code]

[code]DECLARE @CUST varchar(100)--variable to hold value
SET @CUST=yourvalue--assigning value to variable

Select distinct wavekey, orderkey from pickdetail
Where orderkey in
(
Select distinct(A.orderkey) from orderdetail A
join orders B
on A.ORDERKEY = B.ORDERKEY
where (B.consigneekey = @CUST and (B.RFIDSSCCLABELNAME = '1' or B.RFIDGTINLABELNAME='1'))[/code]
you could even wrap this code in a stored procedure and make @CUST variable as a parameter and execute it with values you want.
