The concat predicate must be specified outside the CASE clause.
Select orgno concat '-' concat major concat '-' concat

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

Else sub
End as FullGL, ....

But why to use a case clause at all?
The following statement should do the same:
Select orgno concat '-' concat major concat '-' concat
Right('000' concat RTrim(Substr(sub, 1, 3)), 3)
as FullGL,

Betreff: SQL Case Frustration

Hi Everyone,

  It has been awhile since I have asked for assistance from the group but
but rest assured that I have been diligently lurking. I am having a tuff
time with the below SQL statement and I do not know why, could be due the
time of day.  I am working on developing an embedded SQL statement within a
RPG program to extract G/l data from my company's ERP application.  I would
like to use the Case statement to ensure the sub account code is formatted
correctly when I convert the numeric values to character.  ex when the sub
account = 0, then '000'; when the sub account = 10, then '010'; when the sub
account = 100, then '100'. 

Here is what I have so far:


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

  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
     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!!
