I wrote the store procedure which should return the values like-
J1
J2
J3
I have table named Journal_Entry
. When the row count of the table is 0, it gives the result J1
but as the row count increases it shows the error-
"Conversion failed when converting the varchar value 'J' to data type int."
#here the Voucher_No
is the column for the result to be saved.
The code is like-
CREATE PROC [dbo].[getVoucherNo]
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @Prefix VARCHAR(10)='J'
DECLARE @startFrom INT=1
DECLARE @maxCode VARCHAR(100)
DECLARE @sCode INT
IF((SELECT COUNT(*) FROM dbo.Journal_Entry) > 0)
BEGIN
SELECT @maxCode = CAST(MAX(CAST(SUBSTRING(Voucher_No,LEN(@startFrom)+1,LEN(Voucher_No)- LEN(@Prefix)) AS INT)) AS varchar(100)) FROM dbo.Journal_Entry;
SET @sCode=CAST(@maxCode AS INT)
SELECT @Prefix + LEN(CAST(@maxCode AS VARCHAR(10))+1) + CAST(@maxCode AS VARCHAR(100))
END
ELSE
BEGIN
SELECT(@Prefix + CAST(@startFrom AS VARCHAR))
END
END
The problem located on the following line
SELECT @Prefix + LEN(CAST(@maxCode AS VARCHAR(10))+1) + CAST(@maxCode AS VARCHAR(100))
Use this instead
SELECT @Prefix + CAST(LEN(CAST(@maxCode AS VARCHAR(10))+1) AS VARCHAR(100)) + CAST(@maxCode AS VARCHAR(100))
Full Code:
CREATE PROC [dbo].[getVoucherNo]
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @Prefix VARCHAR(10)='J'
DECLARE @startFrom INT=1
DECLARE @maxCode VARCHAR(100)
DECLARE @sCode INT
IF((SELECT COUNT(*) FROM dbo.Journal_Entry) > 0)
BEGIN
SELECT @maxCode = CAST(MAX(CAST(SUBSTRING(VoucharNo,LEN(@startFrom)+1,LEN(VoucharNo)- LEN(@Prefix)) AS INT))+1 AS varchar(100)) FROM dbo.Journal_Entry;
SET @sCode=CAST(@maxCode AS INT)
SELECT @Prefix + CAST(LEN(CAST(@maxCode AS VARCHAR(10))+1) AS VARCHAR(100)) + CAST(@maxCode AS VARCHAR(100))
END
ELSE
BEGIN
SELECT(@Prefix + CAST(@startFrom AS VARCHAR))
END
END
