What is wrong with my syntax?
IF ( (@Client = 'Winco Foods'
AND EXISTS ( ;
WITH XMLNAMESPACES('http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance' AS ns)
SELECT AuditNbr ,
VndNbr ,
VndName ,
CompanyCode,
AuditorID ,
ClmAmt ,
PRGCode ,
[Year] ,
ClmNbr
FROM ClaimSummary_Temp
WHERE (SELECT AuditNbr ,
VndNbr ,
VndName ,
CompanyCode ,
AuditorID ,
ClmAmt ,
PRGCode ,
[Year] ,
ClmNbr FOR xml path('row'),
elements xsinil ,
type
)
.value('count(//*[local-name() != "colToIgnore"]/@ns:nil)', 'int') > 0 ) )
BEGIN
-- NULL values exists in the required fields. Delete the records in the temp table.
IF @Client = 'Winco Foods'
TRUNCATE TABLE ClaimSummary_Winco
IF @Client = 'Superstore Industries'
TRUNCATE TABLE ClaimSummary_SSI
IF @Client = 'Stater Bros'
TRUNCATE TABLE ClaimSummary_StaterBros
INSERT INTO ImportStatus
(
TableName ,
Client ,
AuditYear ,
AuditNumber,
ImpStatus ,
ImpDesc
)
VALUES
(
@TableName ,
@Client ,
@AuditYear ,
@AuditNumber,
'Fail' ,
'NULL Values exists in the Required Fields'
)
END

Semicolons are statement terminators not initiators.

I'm not sure if you can use a WITH inside an IF condition.

There seem to be numerous syntax errors with this part:

IF ( (

@Client = 'Winco Foods'

AND EXISTS ( ;

WITH XMLNAMESPACES('http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance' AS ns)

SELECT

AuditNbr, VndNbr, VndName, CompanyCode, AuditorID, ClmAmt, PRGCode, [Year], ClmNbr

FROM ClaimSummary_Temp

WHERE (SELECT AuditNbr, VndNbr, VndName, CompanyCode, AuditorID, ClmAmt, PRGCode, [Year], ClmNbr

FOR xml path('row'), elements xsinil, type).value('count(//*[local-name() != "colToIgnore"]/@ns:nil)', 'int') > 0

) )

BEGIN

Two right brackets are missing and the construct is a mix of an existence check and a check for something > 0. Try deconstructing the statement and reassembling it. I think the xmlnamespaces clause should come before the IF.

Can't you use a more conventional WHERE clause?

I do have another way which is working for me (below). I just wanted to try this other way to see if works more efficient.

IF (

(@Client = 'Winco Foods'

AND EXISTS

( SELECT 1

FROM ClaimSummary_Winco CSW

WHERE CSW.AuditNbr is null

OR CSW.VndNbr is null

OR CSW.VndName is null

OR CSW.CompanyCode is null

OR CSW.AuditorID is null

OR CSW.ClmAmt is null

OR CSW.PRGCode is null

OR CSW.[Year] is null

OR CSW.ClmNbr is null

OR CSW.CompanyCode is null

)
