<<SNIP>>I would like to use the Case statement to ensure the sub
account code is formatted correctly when I convert the numeric values

account = 10, then '010'; when the sub account = 100, then '100'.

Here is what I have so far:

Select orgno concat '-' concat major concat '-'

The CONCAT operator is missing here. The CASE returns a value, not an expression, so...

Case
When sub< 10 THEN
concat right('00' || Rtrim(SUBSTR(sub,1,3)), 3)
When sub>= 10 and sub< 100 THEN
concat right('0' || Rtrim(SUBSTR(sub,1,3)), 3)
Else
concat sub

The CONCAT operator must be removed as prefix to each of the WHEN and the ELSE above

End as FullGL,

net2,ytd2
from glsum12
where orgno = 30 and major between 97319 and 97456
order by major


The interactive SQL session is yelling at me, saying that the Case keyword is not expected at line 2.


Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

However there is likely a better way to do what you want using DIGITS(dec(sub, 3))... totally eliminating the CASE.
