Question

Hi am using a scalar function to compute some values and add it as a column while retriving the table.The query i was using is

Select * ,dbo.funcnme(@userid,itemid) as newvalue  from items

now i have a scenario in which i have to call a function based on a items value but i cant get it right.the query i tried is

select *,
    Case when items.Value=4 
        then dbo.funcnme(@userid,itemid) as newvalue 
        else dbo.newfuncnme(@userid,itemid)  
    as newvalue  from items

it shows

Incorrect syntax near the keyword ‘as’.

Whats wrong here.How can i do it please help.

Answer 1

I’m missing the END of the CASE, apart from that the alias should also be at the end:

select *,
    Case when items.Value=4 
        then dbo.funcnme(@userid,itemid) 
        else dbo.newfuncnme(@userid,itemid)  
    END as newvalue  
from items
