  • Hello everyone,

    Im getting msg 208, Level 16, state 1 error when I tried to execute the function below as

    select * from Get_variation_List ('xxxx,yyy') or select * from [dbo].Get_variation_List ('xxxx,yyy').

    Sp_help shows that ojbect do exists in the data base. Any help is much apprecoiated

    USE XXX

    go

    set nocount on

    print 'Script to create Get_variation_List Function'

    print ' '

    go

    print 'Dropping existing Function'

    if Object_Id('[Get_variation_List]') is not null

    begin

    drop function Get_variation_List

    if @@error <> 0

    begin

    print 'ERROR dropping Function Get_variation_List'

    end

    else

    begin

    print 'Function Get_variation_List dropped'

    end

    end

    go

    CREATE function [dbo].[ Get_variation_List]

    (@variation_name varchar(max)

    )

    returns

    @VariationList table

    (

    variation_id int identity(1,1) not null,

    variation_name varchar(40)

    )

    as begin

    declare @Pos int,

    @single_variation varchar(40)

    --now extract each variation from @variation_name and insert into main table as one whole row

    set @variation_name = LTRIM(RTRIM(@variation_name))

    set @Pos = CHARINDEX(',', @variation_name, 1)

    if REPLACE(@variation_name, ',', '') <> ''

    begin

    while @Pos > 0

    begin

    set @single_variation = LTRIM(RTRIM(LEFT(@variation_name, @Pos - 1)))

    if @single_variation <> ''

    begin

    insert into @VariationList (variation_name)

    values (@single_variation)

    end

    set @single_variation = RIGHT(@variation_name, LEN(@variation_name) - @Pos)

    set @Pos = CHARINDEX(',', @variation_name, 1)

    end

    end -- end of main if loop

    return

    end

  • CREATE function [dbo].[ Get_variation_List]

    There's an space character at the beginning of the function name. remove that space or just change your function call to select * from dbo.[ Get_variation_List] ('xxxx,yyy') adding and space before the Get_variation_List

  • Your reply solved my 3 hours head ache. I never looked at that bit of code ...

    Thank you
