Dear SouvikD

The code works if there is no null value in any of these fields. else will throw error.

I do not understand the reason for using the mode of "rtrim(upper(left(Description, 1))
+ substring(Description ,2,len(Description ))) as Descrptn," when you can directly fetch the value.

i am able to handle the errors, i just need to write a query which will fetch the emp_id from the concatenated first and last name.

Other than overloading issue (use "display Estimated execution plan" to know the time taken for query execution), the query has no issues. It fetches the value required.
