CASE Statement Error: Cannot Convert A Char Value To Money
Nov 6, 2007
I am trying to write a Procedure in SQL 2005 that retreives a list of rows from the database. I pass to the procedure sorting parameters. This procedure works fine for all of the fields that I enter in the Order By, except for one.
The field that does not work is a varchar(500) field (named Description).
I am not sure what the problem is.
The error that I am getting is:
Msg 235, Level 16, State 0, Line 13
Cannot convert a char value to money. The char value has incorrect syntax.
Attached is the T-SQL Code. The declare and set statements in the beginning are for informational purposes.
Any help is appreciated.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
declare @Match varchar(75)
WHERE CONTAINS (ci.Keywords, @Match) AND ShowOnWeb=1
)
SELECT catitems.ID,
catitems.SupplierCode,
catitems.Description,
catitems.AUDIO_LINK,
catitems.HighCost,
catitems.Channels
FROM catitems
WHERE RowNo BETWEEN @StartPos AND @StartPos + @NumRows -1

We have the same database in three different environment. The statement below works just fine in two database environment, but I am getting the error in the third one. All the databases are Microsoft SQL Server 2005. I could not pine point the source of the issue. Please any input that you might be able to provide. Thanks
The issue in simplest from
DECLARE @UDF_Value nvarchar(255)
set @UDF_Value = 111
SELECT CONVERT(money, @UDF_Value)
Msg 235, Level 16, State 0, Line 1
Cannot convert a char value to money. The char value has incorrect syntax.
I've been trying to solve this problem or just find an alternative to do this. I have filled a temp table with certain values for all columns except those columns that rely on calculations that need certain cell values from other columns in the temp table. I have a while statement that runs through each cell for one calculation column and this is the code that updates the fields on the calc column:
Code Block EXEC('UPDATE #tblTemp SET #tblTemp.['+@CalcColumns+'] = (CAST(ISNULL((SELECT #tblTemp.['+@Column1+'] FROM #tblTemp WHERE #tblTemp.PK = '''+@PubKey+'''), 0.00)as money) - CAST(ISNULL((SELECT #tblTemp.['+@Column2+'] FROM #tblTemp WHERE #tblTemp.PK = '''+@PubKey+''') , 0.00)as money)) WHERE #tblTemp.PK = '''+@PubKey+'''')
The problem is that it will not let me convert the two values to money. The error is:
Msg 235, Level 16, State 0, Line 1
Cannot convert a char value to money. The char value has incorrect syntax.
This is necessary to calculate the difference between these two cells from the temp table. I would appreciate any help! Thanks!
Msg 234, Level 16, State 2 There is insufficient result space to convert MONEY value to CHAR.

How to convert an INT value from the registry to a VARCHAR but not sure how to convert from INT to VARCHAR within a CASE statement. Below is my code which current fails on "Conversion failed when converting the varchar value 'Automatic' to data type int".
I have created a SQL Stored Procedure that uses a Case statement todetermine the Order By. For one of the Case statements I am trying toturn a Char field into Datetime in for the Order By, however I can notget it to work. Can someone please take a look and my code below andtell me what I am doing wrong. Thank you.ORDER BYCASE WHEN @SortBy = 'dttm_stamp' THEN dttm_stamp End,CASE WHEN @SortBy = 'Event_Date1' THEN CAST(CONVERT(char(10),Event_Date1,101) as datetime) End,CASE WHEN @SortBy = 'FullName' THEN Emp_lastname + ', ' +Emp_firstname End,CASE WHEN @SortBy = 'FullName Desc' THEN Emp_lastname + ', ' +Emp_firstname End DESC,CASE WHEN @SortBy = 'Emp_SSN' THEN Emp_SSN End
Hi All, I've looked through the forum hoping I'm not the only one with this issue but alas, I have found nothing so I'm hoping someone out there will give me some assistance. My problem is the case statement in my Insert Statement. My overall goal is to insert records from one table to another. But I need to be able to assign a specific value to the incoming data and thought the case statement would be the best way of doing it. I must be doing something wrong but I can't seem to see it.
Here is my code: Insert into myTblA (TblA_ID, mycasefield = case when mycasefield = 1 then 99861 when mycasefield = 2 then 99862 when mycasefield = 3 then 99863 when mycasefield = 4 then 99864 when mycasefield = 5 then 99865 when mycasefield = 6 then 99866 when mycasefield = 7 then 99867 when mycasefield = 8 then 99868 when mycasefield = 9 then 99855 when mycasefield = 10 then 99839 end, alt_min, alt_max, longitude, latitude ( Select MTB.LocationID MTB.model_ID MTB.elevation, --alt min null, --alt max MTB.longitude, --longitude MTB.latitude --latitude from MyTblB MTB );
The error I'm getting is: Incorrect syntax near '='.
I have tried various versions of the case statement based on examples I have found but nothing works. I would greatly appreciate any assistance with this one. I've been smacking my head against the wall for awhile trying to find a solution.
I want to print in an error message a money value but have to convert it to a varchar first. I do not have any clue how to do this. Could someone help me out?
SELECT @iError = @@error, @iRowCount = @@rowcount IF(@iError <> 0 OR @iRowCount <> 1) BEGIN CONVERT(@dValue, @cValue) set @cError = 'Error attempting to insert new record. Product : ' + @cProduct + ' Sub-account : ' + @cSubAccount + ' Cost : $' + @cValue RAISERROR(@cError, 16, 1) END
Ok i know this is simple but i just don't know the syntax. What I haveis a bunch of values and i want to be able to display them as moneyvalues with a $ in front.eg.160000001000160000TO THIS$16,000,000.00$1000.00$16,000.000I'm using MS SQL 2000Cheers
Hi Guys I need your help again, I am try to update several columns and the data type is 'money'. Below is the code I have used: UPDATE CAT_Products SET UnitCost ='10.00',UnitCost2 = '10.00',UnitCost3 = '10.00',UnitCost4 = '10.00',UnitCost5 = '10.00',UnitCost6 = '10.00' WHERE ProductCode = '0008' But it will not update, instead I get this error: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- >[Error] Script lines: 1-9 -------------------------- Disallowed implicit conversion from data type varchar to data type money, table 'dbo.CAT_Products', column 'UnitCost'. Use the CONVERT function to run this query. More exceptions ... Disallowed implicit conversion from data type varchar to data type money, table '.dbo.CAT_Products', column 'UnitCost2'. Use the CONVERT function to run this query. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The error message indicates that I need to use the convert function. But the columns data type is set at 'money' not 'varcher' . So do I need to convert data type to 'varcher' in order to update and convert back to data type 'money' when update complete? Or do I need to indicate in the update statement that data type is already 'money'? I am not sure how I would either. Thanks
Hi, I'm using the data type "money" in my SQL database and want to convert what's in txtPrice_textBox to the "money" format. I'm currently using the following code: ' objectCym.price = Convert.ToInt16(txtPrice_textBox.Text) ' Will this work? Is there any reason I should stay away from the "Money" data type?
I write using the SQL ODBC driver from software into a SLQ table called UPSSHIPMENT the format is as followed: JobNumber varchar 50 Weight real 4 FreightCost varchar 8 TrackingNumber varchar 50 Shipmethod varchar 50 VOIDID varchar 3

AS
BEGIN UPDATE PACKAGE SET WEIGHT = inserted.WEIGHT, FREIGHTCOST = inserted.FREIGHTCOST, TRACKINGNUMBER = inserted.TRACKINGNUMBER, COMMENTS = inserted.SHIPMETHOD FROM PACKAGE INNER JOIN inserted on PACKAGE.JOBNUMBER = inserted.JOBNUMBER WHERE inserted.VOIDID = 'N'
UPDATE PACKAGE SET WEIGHT = '', FREIGHTCOST = '0.00', TRACKINGNUMBER = '', COMMENTS = 'UPS VOID' FROM PACKAGE INNER JOIN inserted on PACKAGE.JOBNUMBER = inserted.JOBNUMBER WHERE inserted.VOIDID = 'Y'
END
The format of the PACKAGE table is as followed Jobnumber varchar 50 FreightCost money 8 TrackingNumber varchar 50 Comments varchar 2000 Weight real 4
I am getting the following error --------------------------- Microsoft SQL-DMO (ODBC SQLState: 42000) --------------------------- Error 260: Disallowed implicit conversion from data type varchar to data type money, table 'TESTing.dbo.Package', column 'FreightCost'.

I have been trying to get the following Selects to work using a case expression in the order by section.
I know I can easily separate out the two statements but I want to do a select using the case statement below ; however, I keep getting error 16 --"Order by items must appear in the select list if the statement contains a union.
If remove the case statement and put order by "internalID desc" I receive no errors. Moreover, when I take out the union statement and execute the two select statements with each including the case expression it runs as planned.
Can anyone tell what the problem is here? I have combed the web looking for an answer, but it seems that the statement is valid.
Thanks J declare @date set @date = '2001'
select internalID from section_data_v3
union
select internalID from section_data_v4
order by case when (@date = '2001') then internalID end desc
I need to always have a formatting of 999,999,999.00 in a column called PropertyMap9.
PropertyMap9 is always a nvarchar(max)
How do I SET a value using a CONVERT or CAST to accomplish this ?
Why does this give me a syntax error ? The PropertyMap7 set actually works and performs the calculation and sets the new value for that row, however the next line gives an error. I need all 3 columns PropertyMap9, 8, and 7 to always have the above formatting, while still maintaining the nvarchar(max) datatype in the column. HELP!
update PropertyMapValues
set PropertyMap7 = CONVERT(NVARCHAR(MAX),CAST(PropertyMap8 AS money) - (CAST(PropertyMap9 AS money)),1)
set PropertyMap9 = CONVERT(NVARCHAR(MAX),CAST(PropertyMap9 AS money))
END
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Procedure UpdatePropertyMap7, Line 59
I'm looking through some data in a third party application, trying to figure something out for a report. There is a char(1) column holding control characters that apparently effects the status of certain records, and whether they should appear on the report. I want to look at the integer value of those characters rather than the character representation, but I can't get it to work. I keep getting "Error converting data type varchar to numeric." I'm trying to do something like this: Code:
SELECT CONVERT(int, MyColumn) As IntValue FROM MyTable
I've tried every combination of cast and convert I can think of, as well as numeric data types other than int. There aren't that many distinct values, so I'm just going to do this manually, but I still want to know why it won't work, or what I'm doing wrong. Any thoughts?
I have a Column called PostNr which is of type Char(4) I want to be able to Convert it to int How can I accomplish that in query analyser, I tried changing it in Ent Manager, it keeps timing out. I data in Post is in this format, does not contain illegal character just number
Hi all,I have a column LateHours (Varchar). I want to put it in another table which has Latehours column in Decimal(4,2) Example = +04:33 Should be 4.33 (Only + values) Char to Decimal (4,2) Please Help me,Thanks,Janaka
Hi all, There are several columns called enabled with a char datatype in my database. One enabled column per table. These columns either have a value of T or F (true or false), depending on whether they're enabled or not. I want to change these columns to a bit datatype and insert the relevant value of true or false... I guess the best way to do this is to add a new column to a table with a bit datatype, and based on the value in the current enabled column, insert TRUE or FALSE. Anyone ideas on the best way to accomplish this? Thanks.
Hi, I have DB2 date value 00000000. If I'm exporting to SQL server using openquery that is automaticaly converting to char of 8 and stored as the same value 00000000. My question is how I can convert them as datetime value in SQL server 2000.?
declare @new table( id int not null identity(1,1), dat char(10)) insert into @new select'111214' union select'121214' select cast(dat as datetime)from @new -----------------------
Select Cast('100.1234' as float)give me the result 100.1234Now when I convert it back to char I want exactly 100.1234Select Convert(char(100),Cast('100.1234' as float))Gives me 100.123 (Here I was expecting 100.1234)When I doSelect STR(Cast('100.1234' as float),25,4)I get back the result as 100.1234However here I am not sure how many digits do I have after the decimalpoint. If I put some value likeSelect STR(Cast('100.1234' as float),25,8)I get 0's appended to it, which is again not desired.Thanks in advance,Jai
