Re: SQL Question

Rob,
My issue is that I have already have the field retreived from wherever its origin may have been (screen, db, parm, etc).
What I was looking for was a shortcut using SQL to just test the value of that field instead of having to code multiple IF or Select/WHENxx conditions.
As I indicated earlier, I do not know if this can even be done, but felt that this was the place to ask the question.

Thanks again,

Apparently you can use IN when you do this
select checkthis,
case
when checkthis in('A','B') then '1'
else '0'
end as IndicatorChk
from qtemp.young

But you can't use IN, or I was doing it wrong, with this:
select checkthis,
case CheckThis
when in('A','B') then '1'
else '0'
end as IndicatorChk
