SQL Union all plus variable

Hi all,

I am using the below script but it gives me an error message Syntax error, misplaced/missing FROM: Concatenate(ActivityvPlan). Please could you let me know if there is anything wrong with the below? Many thanks.

LET @ExtractDate = Text(Chr(39)&'2017/09/15'&Chr(39));

LET @ActualWeekEndDate = Chr(39) &Text(Date(WeekEnd(Today()),'YYYY/MM/DD')) &Chr(39);

CONCATENATE is a prefix for a LOAD statement. If we keep that in mind, then why are there two complete LET statements between the CONCATENATE (ActivityvPlan) prefix and the next LOAD?

Place the CONCATENATE(ActivityvPlan) line two statements lower, and all will be fine (with the statement syntax, that is)

Thanks for the quick response Peter. I am assuming something like below? It is still giving me the error message 'ErrorSource: Microsoft SQL Server Native Client 11.0, ErrorMsg: Incorrect syntax near ')'. Not sure how can I identify which row this error is. I looked line by line but I can't find anything obvious.

LET @ExtractDate = Text(Chr(39)&'2017/09/15'&Chr(39));

LET @ActualWeekEndDate = Chr(39) &Text(Date(WeekEnd(Today()),'YYYY/MM/DD')) &Chr(39);

Hi Peter,

I have fixed the above error but it is throwing out another error message: ErrorSource: Microsoft SQL Server Native Client 11.0, ErrorMsg: Must declare the scalar variable "@ExtractDate".

Any help is appreciated!

Re: SQL Union all plus variable

Peter_Cammaert — Fri, 22 Sep 2017 16:02:41 GMT

In the second SQL statement, you use something like:

AND CAST(F.Rundate AS DATE) = @ExtractDate

Replace @ExtractDate with $(@ExtractDate) and try again.

Excellent, that worked like a charm Peter! Thank you very much and have a good weekend!
