  Hi, I have table name [@tbl_value], columns are 'Code', 'Name'
  Records:
  Code Name
  1       B
  2       A
  3       D
  4       C

  When user have the value of 341. The result would be. DCA. Another example is: 3321 the result would be: DDAB.

  Quick suggestion (if I understood the requirements correctly)
  😎

  USE TEEST;
GO
SET NOCOUNT ON;

  DECLARE @tbl_value TABLE (Code INT NOT NULL,Name VARCHAR(10) NOT NULL);
INSERT INTO @tbl_value(Code,Name)
VALUES (1,'A')
  ,(2,'B')
  ,(3,'C')
  ,(4,'D')
;
DECLARE @USER_VAL INT = 321;

  ;WITH SINGLE_DIGITS(POS,DX) AS
(
  SELECT 1, @USER_VAL     % 10 UNION ALL
  SELECT 2, @USER_VAL / 10  % 10 UNION ALL
  SELECT 3, @USER_VAL / 100  % 10 UNION ALL
  SELECT 4, @USER_VAL / 1000 % 10 UNION ALL
  SELECT 5, @USER_VAL / 10000 % 10 UNION ALL
  SELECT 6, @USER_VAL / 100000 % 10
)
SELECT
(
  SELECT
   '' + TV.Name
  FROM   @tbl_value    TV
  INNER JOIN SINGLE_DIGITS   SD
  ON    SD.DX    = TV.Code
  ORDER BY  SD.POS DESC
  FOR XML PATH(''),TYPE
).value('(./text())[1]','VARCHAR(10)') AS NAME_STR;

  Hi Eirikur,

  Thank you for the suggestion. For the,

  SELECT 1, @USER_VAL  % 10 UNION ALL
SELECT 2, @USER_VAL / 10 % 10 UNION ALL
SELECT 3, @USER_VAL / 100 % 10 UNION ALL
SELECT 4, @USER_VAL / 1000 % 10 UNION ALL
SELECT 5, @USER_VAL / 10000 % 10 UNION ALL
SELECT 6, @USER_VAL / 100000 % 10

  How can I add the 0?

  Cannot recommend this kind of concatenation, no way af guaranteeing the order
  😎
  SELECT @Result = @Result + Name FROM @tbl_value WHERE Code = @char


  Further, this logic is not inline-able hence it forces one to use a scalar function or a stored procedure, which have considerably higher execution overhead.

  I wouldn't limit the values to single chars or require each value to be the next letter in the alphabet.  Instead, for example:

  INSERT INTO #tbl_value(Code,Name)
VALUES(5,'QQQ');

  ;WITH
cteTally10 AS (
  SELECT * FROM (VALUES(0),(0),(0),(0),(0),(0),(0),(0),(0),(0)) AS numbers(number)
),
cteTally100 AS (
  SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY c1.number) AS number
  FROM cteTally10 c1
  CROSS JOIN cteTally10 c2
)
SELECT user_id, value, value_new
FROM (
  VALUES(1, '341'),(2, '135')
) AS td(user_id, value) /*td=test_data*/
OUTER APPLY (
  SELECT
   '' + tv.Name
  FROM cteTally100 t
  INNER JOIN #tbl_value tv ON tv.Code = SUBSTRING(td.value, t.number, 1)
  WHERE t.number BETWEEN 1 AND LEN(td.value)  
  ORDER BY t.number
  FOR XML PATH('')
) AS oa1(value_new)

  Looks more like an assumption to me, although the ordinal position of the characters is the alphabetical order, it does not mean that this is real data.

  Besides which, if you look closely, you'll see the data in the original q is:
  1 B
  2 A
  3 D
  4 C
  i.e., not 1A2B3C4D.
