I used to use Focus before migrating to Sql and miss some of the commands in Focus and not in SQL. . One statement that Focus had was called "include". In focus, I could include a query with a complex case statement into different queries as needed.
I could copy the code into the queries but the problem is if the code changes, then I have to change the code in each query.
How can I do this in SQL Server?
Thanks

Sounds like a view would do much the same thing for you. It isn't quite to the code snippet level you are describing but could probably get you close.
