I am new in sqlserver UDF,
I am written a UDF but it showing error
CREATE FUNCTION udf_DayOfWeek(@dtDate DATETIME)
RETURNS VARCHAR(10)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @rtDayofWeek VARCHAR(10)
SELECT @rtDayofWeek = CASE DATEPART(weekday,@dtDate)
WHEN 1 THEN ‘Sunday’
WHEN 2 THEN ‘Monday’
WHEN 3 THEN ‘Tuesday’
WHEN 4 THEN ‘Wednesday’
WHEN 5 THEN ‘Thursday’
WHEN 6 THEN ‘Friday’
WHEN 7 THEN ‘Saturday’
END
RETURN (@rtDayofWeek)
END
GO

Error
Incorrect syntax near '‘'.
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Procedure udf_DayOfWeek, Line 16
Incorrect syntax near 'END'.

Use Single Quote,
‘Sunday’ should be 'Sunday'

Try this,

CREATE FUNCTION udf_DayOfWeek(@dtDate DATETIME)
RETURNS VARCHAR(10)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @rtDayofWeek VARCHAR(10)
SET @rtDayofWeek = CASE DATEPART(weekday,@dtDate)
WHEN 1 THEN 'Sunday'
WHEN 2 THEN 'Monday'
WHEN 3 THEN 'Tuesday'
WHEN 4 THEN 'Wednesday'
WHEN 5 THEN 'Thursday'
WHEN 6 THEN 'Friday'
else 'Saturday'
END
RETURN (@rtDayofWeek)
END
GO

it didnt work initially as it could not recognize your quotes used (i.e)'‘'.
