Hi all,
I have the below user-defined function on mssql 2000 and I can't work
out why i'm getting the following error:
-----
Server: Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Procedure
fnCalculateOutw orkerPaymentFor Box, Line 15
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'IF'.
Server: Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Procedure
fnCalculateOutw orkerPaymentFor Box, Line 23
Line 23: Incorrect syntax near ')'.
-----
-----
CREATE FUNCTION fnCalculateOutw orkerPaymentFor Box(@boxid int)
RETURNS money
AS
BEGIN
RETURN (
/* if the box is a paperback */
IF (SELECT COUNT(BoxID) AS NoOfBoxes FROM OutworkerBoxes WHERE BoxID
= @boxid AND BoxCode LIKE '%PAPER%') > 1
/* If the books are paperback, charge 15p each and add on 30p for a
description book to make 45p */
SELECT ((endref - StartRef) * 0.15) + (NoOfDescriptio nBooks * 0.30)
FROM OutworkerBoxes WHERE BoxID = @boxid
ELSE
/* If the books are normal, charge 25p each and add 20p on for
description books to make 45p */
SELECT ((endref - StartRef) * 0.25) + (NoOfDescriptio nBooks * 0.20)
FROM OutworkerBoxes WHERE BoxID = @boxid
)
END
-----
Below is the sql for the table it works with:
-----
CREATE TABLE [OutworkerBoxes] (
[BoxID] [int] IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL ,
[OutworkerID] [int] NOT NULL ,
[ImportedBy] [int] NULL ,
[StartRef] [int] NOT NULL ,
[endref] [int] NOT NULL ,
[DateIssued] [datetime] NOT NULL ,
[BoxCode] [nvarchar] (50) COLLATE Latin1_General_ CI_AS NOT NULL ,
[DealerID] [int] NULL ,
[StatusID] [int] NOT NULL ,
[IssuedBy] [int] NOT NULL ,
[BoxNotes] [nvarchar] (200) COLLATE Latin1_General_ CI_AS NULL ,
[DateImported] [datetime] NULL ,
[NoOfDescription Books] [int] NOT NULL CONSTRAINT
[DF_OutworkerBox es_NoOfDescript ionBooks] DEFAULT (0),
CONSTRAINT [PK_OutworkerBox es] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
[BoxID]
) WITH FILLFACTOR = 90 ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
-----
If anyone can advise me i'd be most grateful.
Thanx in advance

IF is a control-of-flow statement so you can't specify it as a RETURN
expression. Below are a couple of untested examples that show how you can
return the desired expression.
CREATE FUNCTION fnCalculateOutw orkerPaymentFor Box(@boxid int)
RETURNS money
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @BoxCount int
DECLARE @Result money
SELECT @BoxCount = COUNT(BoxID)
FROM OutworkerBoxes
WHERE BoxID = @boxid AND BoxCode LIKE '%PAPER%'
IF @BoxCount > 1
SELECT @Result = ((endref - StartRef) * 0.15) + (NoOfDescriptio nBooks *
0.30)
FROM OutworkerBoxes
WHERE BoxID = @boxid
ELSE
SELECT @Result = ((endref - StartRef) * 0.25) + (NoOfDescriptio nBooks *
0.20)
FROM OutworkerBoxes
WHERE BoxID = @boxid
RETURN @Result
END
GO
ALTER FUNCTION fnCalculateOutw orkerPaymentFor Box(@boxid int)
RETURNS money
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @BoxCount int
SELECT @BoxCount = COUNT(BoxID)
FROM OutworkerBoxes
WHERE BoxID = @boxid AND BoxCode LIKE '%PAPER%'
RETURN(
SELECT ((endref - StartRef) *
CASE WHEN @BoxCount > 1 THEN 0.15 ELSE 0.25 END
) + (NoOfDescriptio nBooks *
CASE WHEN @BoxCount > 1 THEN 0.30 ELSE 0.20 END)
FROM OutworkerBoxes
WHERE BoxID = @boxid
)
END
GO

Hope this helps.

Thanx - i just tried the second suggestion and it works a treat :-) The
only thing was that in the below section the boxcount had to be more
than 0, i.e. boxes existed, instead of one.
----
CASE WHEN @BoxCount > 1 THEN 0.15 ELSE 0.25 END
) + (NoOfDescriptio nBooks *
CASE WHEN @BoxCount > 1 THEN 0.30 ELSE 0.20 END)

I accidently overloaded a static member function that I use as predicate

Hi,
I was just going through this exercise
http://www.cas.mcmaster.ca/~franek/books/membook-answers/ch4/answers-ch4-3.html
and I'am confused about the answer.
It says: "... the compiler actually does not "know" the signature of
malloc(), hence it assumes by default, that it returns int..."
How can the function call of 'malloc' work at all if it is unknown?
