I need to convert ClaimNum (nvarchar) such as 200910258570002 to bigint, plus 1 and convert to nvarchar again.
How to code it in a store procedure?

select cast(cast('200910258570002' as bigint)+1 as nvarchar)

I used code below but do not work as expected.
test data: A.CLAIMNO = 200910228450002, nvarchar data type

declare @c bigint
set @c = cast((select distinct A.CLAIMNO from a) as bigint)+1
print @c // print out as 200910228450003 that is correct
declare @d nvarchar
set @d = cast(@c as nvarchar(50))
print @d //print out as 2, not correct, should be 200910228450003

How to code to make @d = 200910228450003 as nvarchar type?
