Hi All – Smee again!

Two questions but they’re unrelated so = I’ll make 2 posts to keep it clean!

Number one (and I think is the easier = one)…

I have a SELECT statement, part of which is a = “Flags” column which is a CASE function, but I need to be able to concatenate = the results together. Example: in the below, I need to be show both = “@” and “K” if both of the CASE blocks are true… = Possible?

= <snip>

CASE WHEN = stkeoq(stock.code) =3D -1 THEN '@'

WHEN stock.kit_pack =3D 'Y' THEN 'K'

END AS = "flags",

= <snip>

Note: “stkeoq” is a = function

The actual CASE is going to end up with 7 individual = tests and therefore 7 difference flags that I’ll need to test and = concatenate all the true ones…

Thanks,

-p
