I have four fields:
FirstName varchar(20),null
MiddleName varchar(5),null
LastName varchar(30),null
Position int,null
How to concatenate all these four fields to give result as Name?
I tried this but it is not working properly.
select
LTRIM(RTRIM(isnull(Person.Lastname,' ')+','+isnull(Person.Firstname,' ')+' '+ISNULL(Person.middlename,' ')))+' '+CAST(person.Position as varchar) as Name
from dbo.Person
Any suggestions?

I am guessing you are getting NULL when Position IS NULL? All you need to do is wrap your Position cast inside an ISNULL like the other columns.
