It simply wont allow you to do that as you are effectively splitting a single statement.

I would suggest capturing the output of the query to a variable an testing that.

Thanks,

But how would I capture the out put in a variable because even this

set @parent = (select T0.AppObjType

from oinm T0

inner join ibt1 T1 on T0.ItemCode = T1.ItemCode

and T0.Warehouse = T1.WhsCode and T0.TransType = T1.BaseType

and T0.CreatedBy = T1.BaseEntry and T0.DocLineNum = T1.BaseLinNum

where T0.applobj = '202' AND AppObjAbs = '56'

and T0.ItemCode = (select code from BOM))

gives a similar error.

Here's a simple example

declare @Result integer;

with ctetest

as(

select 1 as Val

)

Select @Result = ctetest.val

from ctetest

Select @Result

You may only use SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE with a cte.

Common table expression can be used in select /insert /update statement for one time only, as next statement of defination only.
