Re: Query» if then else in queries.

["Jim Essinger" <dilbernator@xxxxxxxxx>]

Marco,

Try this;

CASE Field01
     WHEN '*' THEN '1'
     ELSE      'N'
     END AS New_Field_Name

or CASE
    WHEN Field01 = '*' THEN '1'
    WHEN Field01 = ' ' THEN 'N'
     ELSE  '?'
      END AS New_Field_Name

Only one of the WHEN statements will be processed, and the first one that is
true. If no condition matches, then you get the ELSE statement.  The
difference is that the 1st example you compare one field to different values
in each when.  The 2nd example you can compare different fields with each
when.  I don't think the ELSE has to be there, but it is a good idea to code
for other characters.
