Question

Hi I need help with the syntax on this code:

IF OBJECT_ID('TEMPDB..#LTS_MAP') IS NOT NULL
BEGIN DROP TABLE #LTS_MAP END


SELECT
dtMicIssue as  LATE_CHARGE_FACTOR
,CASE   
WHEN (dtMicIssue is NOT NULL) AND (dtMicIssue  <> '1900-01-01 00:00:00') 
 THEN CONVERT(SMALLDATETIME,dtMicIssue)  
     ELSE NULL END 


INTO    #LTS_MAP
FROM    SBAURSQL001.LTSArchive.dbo.LoanMaster_0609

receiving error: Msg 8155, Level 16, State 1, Line 5
No column was specified for column 2 of ‘#LTS_MAP’.

Trying to combine case functionality with select of the dtMicIssue and messing up on the syntax…

Answer 1

You need to alias the CASE Statement so that it has a column name:

IF OBJECT_ID('TEMPDB..#LTS_MAP') IS NOT NULL
BEGIN DROP TABLE #LTS_MAP END


SELECT
dtMicIssue as  LATE_CHARGE_FACTOR
,CASE   
WHEN (dtMicIssue is NOT NULL) AND (dtMicIssue  <> '1900-01-01 00:00:00') 
 THEN CONVERT(SMALLDATETIME,dtMicIssue)  
     ELSE NULL END AS DATE


INTO    #LTS_MAP
FROM    SBAURSQL001.LTSArchive.dbo.LoanMaster_0609
