IS there a way in IBI to use CASE statements as sql does.
For example:

case when Len(l.id)=6 then 'WebTours'
when Len(l.created_by)=4 then 'SchoolEntered'
else 'PhoneCalls' end channel,

And Is there a way to assign the custom values where Case is true?

Even SQL query is not working for this:

 SQL SQLMSS PREPARE SQLOUT2 FOR
select
case when Len(l.id)=6 then 'WebTours'
        when Len(l.created_by)=4 then 'SchoolEntered'
            else 'PhoneCalls' end as chanel,
    l.id lead_id,
    l.last_name,
    l.first_name,
    case when l.status = 'Invalid' then 'Invalid' else 'Valid' end lead_status,
    l.lead_source,
    date_entered-.2083 date_entered_cst,
    case when l.status = 'Invalid' then reason_dom_c else ' ' end invalid_reason,
    brand_dd_c
,t.FiscalYear 
,t.Period
,t.Week

from EXT_SUG_Leads l
left outer join EXT_SUG_Leads_Cstm  as lc on l.id = lc.id_c
  JOIN Dim_time T on T.date = convert(varchar,L.date_entered,101)

where l.deleted = '0'
and brand_dd_c not in ('TT', 'CT', 'LPA', 'CCY', 'MU')
and l.date_entered-.2083 >= '07/04/2009'
and Len(l.id) = 6


SET BYDISPLAY = OFF
TABLE FILE SQLOUT2
PRINT
chanel AS 'Channel'
lead_id as 'Lead ID'
last_name as 'Last Name'
first_name as 'First Name'
lead_status as 'Lead Status'

I did use it but I am able to use it in the COMPUTE however when I use it in define it doesnt work.
Can you bounce me idea where AGRLEN EQ 6 then 'ABCD'
I cant use the compute cause it wont populate the field while compute gets executed at the end of procedure.

Dan you are right as always. For some reason, when I do a check with dev studio test my define it gives me an error message. But the defined field works just fine in the report. As always, thank you so much for your help.

Arif

I'm certainly not always right! But ARGLEN has been around a long time and I was certain it would work in a DEFINE.
