I am Creating a table ClientInfo, in this i want to generate a alphanumeric code for ClientCode column. The Code whic i want to generate should be like SAPL-LPS-00001
SAPL is a static four letter string.
LPS is first three letter of organization.
00001 is incremented on the basis of identity column.
for this i have wrote some code in create table wizard but i am getting an error. I am sending my create table code to you.
One more thing OrganizationName coming from front end.

SQL

Create table ClientInfo
(
ClientId int identity(1,1) primary key,
ClientCode As ('SAPL-' +Right(substring(OrganizationName, 1,3) +Right('00000' +Convert(varchar, ClientId,0),(5)),3),
OrganizationName varchar(100))

Use this in update query in trigger after insert

SQL

'SAPL-' + substring(OrganizationName, 1, 3) + '-' + Right('00000' + Convert(varchar, ClientId, 0), (5))
