Can you post more of the query? I don't get an error when I try you're part of the CASE statement in any example at my side

Solution 1

You're checking to see whether the substring from the second "-" to the end of the string ends with "CLP".

If the string contains one "-" character, or no "-" characters, you take the entire string.

Therefore, your test is equivalent to:

SQL

WHEN [Remarks] LIKE '%CLP'

Thanks for the answer @richard but I still got an error using LIKE keyword. Error message: Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'LIKE'.

Then there's something else wrong with your query. You haven't shown enough of the query to tell you what the problem is.
