Question

This is a simplified version of what I’m doing, but I can’t get anything to work. The statement gives me an error without the comma after ‘ERR’. I want the column to be ‘Month’ and I tohught this would work but I’m having a ton of trouble. Thanks for your help!

   select 
 a.POL_PRI_RSK_ST_CD, a.MASTER_COMPANY_NBR,

case

when a.char046 is NULL then 'ERR'

when a.char046 > '010' then '11+'

else a.char046 end as Policy_Years,

a.Last7Days, a.Last30Days, a.Last90Days

from reporting a inner join

Repository b 

on a.RECORD_ID = b.RECORD_ID

where a.POL_OGN_EFF_DT >= '2008-11-01'

group by

a.POL_PRI_RSK_ST_CD, a.MASTER_COMPANY_NBR, 

case

when a.char046 is NULL then 'ERR'

when a.char046 > '010' then '11+'

else a.char046 end as Policy_Years,

a.Last7Days, a.Last30Days, a.Last90Days

Answer 1

Note: This is the outcome of the debugging session in the question comments.

The error Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'as'. was caused by as Policy_Years in the GROUP BY clause. You are not allowed to use as within a GROUP BY clause.
