Home Forums SQL Server 2008 T-SQL (SS2K8) ISNULL function does not allow concatenating CHAR's in SQL 2008R2 or earlier RE: ISNULL function does not allow concatenating CHAR's in SQL 2008R2 or earlier

    Thanks for the quick reply. My problem is not so much with the functionality of ISNULL with a concatenated field. My problem is the syntax I need to use is not supported in SQL 2008 R2 or below. I get the following error messages when trying to use in SQL 2008 R2 and below:

    Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Procedure VIEW_XXXXXXXX, Line 74775

    Incorrect syntax near ' '.

    Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Procedure VIEW_XXXXXXXX, Line 74806

    Incorrect syntax near ' '.

    Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Procedure VIEW_XXXXXXXX, Line 74830

    Incorrect syntax near ' '.

    Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Procedure VIEW_XXXXXXXX, Line 74837

    Incorrect syntax near ' '.

    Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Procedure VIEW_XXXXXXXX, Line 74844

    Incorrect syntax near ' '.

    Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Procedure VIEW_XXXXXXXX, Line 74851

    Incorrect syntax near ' '.

    Then perhaps you could share the whole query you are working with?
