RE: Sql Question - Case within Case

Case when DbApP_Tran_Chk_Amt = 0 then ' '
when DBAPD_ORIG_TRAN_AMT > 0 Then 'IN' Else 'CM' End

Will set the value to spaces whenever the paid amount is zero and set
the value based on the other amount.

Subject: Sql Question - Case within Case

The SQL interperter allows me to do this:
select dbapd_vendor,dbapd_invoice,
DbApP_Tran_Chk_Amt,DBAPD_ORIG_TRAN_AMT,
Case DbApP_Tran_Chk_Amt When 0 then ' ' Else
Case When DBAPD_ORIG_TRAN_AMT > 0 Then 'IN' Else 'CM' End end
H_Type from dbapapd join dbapapp on dbapd_company = dbapp_company
and dbapd_vendor = dbapp_vendor and dbapd_invoice = dbapp_invoice
WHERE DBAPD_COMPANY = 101 AND DBAPD_CANCEL_SEQ = 0 and dbapd_distri
b_date > 20061231
However, the results are not what I am seeking:
VENDOR INVOICE TRAN

1,186.86-
8528 336-88034 313.56-
313.56- CM

What I want to do is that if the Paid Amount is not zero, set the H_Type
based on the sign of the Trans_Amount.

Is there a correct method to do this, or do I need 2 passes.
The end result will be to insert this data into an exsiting table.

Thanksk,
