Question

I have this trigger that I’m trying to debug. I need to know the values that it’s trying to insert. The below Print @Item is not working.

DECLARE @Item VARCHAR(MAX);



  INSERT INTO [BPRIL DATA ENTRY]
              ([COMPANY],
               [CUSTOMER],
               [ITEM #],
               [VENDOR],
               [SEASON],
               [BPRILP0CaseCost],
               [CustomerItem#])
  SELECT DISTINCT oh.company,
         oh.customer,
         @Item = ins.itemnumber,
         ins.vendor,
         oh.season,
         ins.VendorCost,
         oid.[CustomerSKU]
  FROM   [ORDER HEADER] AS oh
         LEFT JOIN [Order Item Detail] AS OID
           ON oh.[ORDER #] = OID.[ORDER #]
         LEFT JOIN [INSERTED] AS ins
           ON ins.[ITEM #] = OID.[ITEM #]
         LEFT JOIN [BPRIL DATA ENTRY] bp
           ON bp.[COMPANY] = oh.company
              AND bp.[CUSTOMER] = oh.customer
              AND bp.[ITEM #] = ins.itemnumber
              AND bp.[VENDOR] = ins.vendor
              AND bp.[SEASON] = oh.season
  WHERE  bp.[COMPANY] IS NULL
         AND bp.[CUSTOMER] IS NULL
         AND bp.[ITEM #] IS NULL
         AND bp.[VENDOR] IS NULL
         AND bp.[SEASON] IS NULL
         AND (OID.[STATUS] = 'C'
         OR OID.[STATUS] = 'I')
         AND ins.[VENDOR] IS NOT NULL
         AND ins.[QUOTE #] IS NOT NULL
         AND ins.[VENDORCOST] IS NOT NULL 

Print @Item;

Answer 1

I created a table:

CREATE TABLE DebugTrace
(
   [COMPANY] NVARCHAR(2),
   [CUSTOMER] NVARCHAR(255),
   [ITEM #] NVARCHAR(35),
   [VENDOR] NVARCHAR(50),
   [SEASON] INT,
   [BPRILP0CaseCost] MONEY,
   [CustomerItem#] NVARCHAR(50)
)

Then I ran the Trigger to Insert into DebugTrace instead of [BPRIL DATA ENTRY]
