Question

Please help,

Actually my query is OK, but the problem is when after inserting the 9th record out of 10 records it says that there is an error on the 10th record, but if i run the query separately; 1st query have 9 records then the 2nd query has only 1 and both has no error.

below is the query that i used:

DECLARE @tblLkUp    VARCHAR(MAX),
        @tblLkUpCol VARCHAR(MAX),
        @strSQL     VARCHAR(MAX)

SET @tblLkUp = 
    (SELECT DISTINCT TOP 1 t.name AS TableName 
     FROM sys.tables t JOIN sys.indexes i ON i.index_id = t.schema_id  
     WHERE t.name LIKE '%$POS Lookup')

SET @tblLkUpCol = 
    (SELECT DISTINCT TOP 1 t.name AS TableName 
     FROM sys.tables t JOIN sys.indexes i ON i.index_id = t.schema_id  
     WHERE t.name LIKE '%$POS Lookup Columns')


SET @strSQL = 'IF (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM ' + QUOTENAME(@tblLkUp) + ' WHERE [Lookup ID] = ''ZOOMSPODTL'') = 0
                    BEGIN
                        INSERT INTO ' + QUOTENAME(@tblLkUp) + ' VALUES(DEFAULT, '''', ''ZOOMSPODTL'', ''Zoom Trans. SPO Line Details'', '''',

Thanks in advance.

The string you concatenate is truncated to 4000 characters. To fix this you can add cast('' as varchar(max)) first in the assignment to @strSQL.

SET @strSQL = cast('' as varchar(max)) + 
              'IF (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM ' + QUOTENAME(@tblLkUp) + ' WHERE [Lookup ID] = ''ZOOMSPODTL'') = 0
                    BEGIN
                        INSERT INTO .......
