Re: Can anyone explain this?

Hi Dennis

Both forms are valid on the i and might be on most compliant SQL systems - I don't know that, however. I do prefer the form you used, by the way - but it seems both forms have analogs in various languages.

Portion of SQL statement:
CASE C.ASTOCK WHEN 'N' THEN 'No' WHEN 'Y' THEN 'Yes' END,
CASE C.AFUEL WHEN 'N' THEN 'No' WHEN 'Y' THEN 'Yes' END,

That syntax is foreign to me. I like it (a lot) and it may be valid, but
what I'm used to is: CASE
WHEN C.ASTOCK = 'N' then 'No'
WHEN C.ASTOCK = 'Y' then 'Yes'
ELSE C.ASTOCK end,
What OS are you using?
Only thing I can think of other than syntax is unprintables after the N or
Y, maybe?
