How to manipulate illegal field value in script

Thu, 09 Aug 2012 11:47:31 GMT

Hi,

I'm trying to add grossmargin percent calculation in edit script from ODBC database (Sql server). The problem is that sometimes sales maybe 0 for row and then the script ends up to an error. I would need to check if sales is zero then gm%=0 else the formula. I have tried the following (below) but it just says "Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'If'. Please help me on this one how to do this.

ODBC

CONNECT32 TO TUOTANTO2 (XUserId is xx, XPassword is xx);

SQL SELECT CustName,

    CustNum,

    DirVarLabCost,

    MaterialCost,

    Sales,

    if (Sales=0, 0, ((Sales-DirVarLabCost-MaterialCost)/Sales*100)) AS GMPros

FROM Tuotanto.dbo."ACS_MonthlyData";

Use a preceding LOAD:

ODBC

CONNECT32 TO TUOTANTO2 (XUserId is xx, XPassword is xx);

LOAD *,

if (Sales=0, 0, ((Sales-DirVarLabCost-MaterialCost)/Sales*100)) AS GMPros;

SQL SELECT CustName,

    CustNum,

    DirVarLabCost,

    MaterialCost,

    Sales

FROM Tuotanto.dbo."ACS_MonthlyData";
