This is the cause of your problem:

set @NewsId = (select NewsDelId from NewsDelivery where
CustomerId=@Cus tomerId )

There are apparently at least two rows in NewsDelivery that satisfy
the condition CustomerId = @CustomerID. The value for @NewsID can only
be taken from one of these rows, but which one? You didn't tell SQL
Server how to choose, so SQL Server throws an error message.

Apart from this, I fail to see the logic of what you're doing, but I
think it can be done simpler. Can you explain what you try to achieve?

Hi Guys,

Thanks for kind Help....

Infact i have solved the problem by rewriting the procedure

CREATE proc sp_count_AllNew sPapers
@CustomerId int

as
declare @flag int
if exists (select CustomerId from NewsDelivery where CustomerId=@Cus tomerId )
begin
set @flag=0

end
else
begin
set @flag=1
end

if @flag=1
begin
select count( NewsPapersId) from NewsPapers
end

if @flag=0

begin
select count(NewsDelId ) from NewsDelivery where Customerid=@Cus tomerid

end
GO

Hi Nachi,

Why make it more complex than necessary? The code in David Portas'
first message in this discussion is completely equivalent to your
code, but a lot shorter and easier to maintain.

(David's second suggestion will work as well, but uses some tricks
that not all SQL programmers will be able to understand - this might
make future maintenance more costly)
