Hi Guys

I've created the following function but I'm not sure how to sort out the incorrect syntax. It states its near the TOP function.

CREATE FUNCTION udf_SetPrimaryAccountID
(@inValue varchar(50))

RETURNS varchar(50)
AS
BEGIN

DECLARE @outValue varchar(50)
SET @outValue =
TOP 1 [Account Number]
FROM [TMP.Supplier2]
WHERE [Full Name] = @inValue
ORDER BY [Account Number]

RETURN @outValue
END

Any Ideas?

Thanks
