I am getting the error message, "An expression of non-boolean type specified in a context where a condition is expected, near ',' "
when running an ssrs 2008 r2 report.
The sql embedded in the dataset is:
IF @reportID <> 0
BEGIN
SELECT 'Students report 1' AS selectRptName, 1 AS rptNumValue
UNION
SELECT 'Students report 2', 2
UNION
SELECT 'Students report 3', 3
UNION
SELECT 'Students report 4', 4
UNION
SELECT 'Students report 5', 5
ORDER BY selectRptName
END
)
The sql runs fine in managment studio when I declare @reportID.
The sql runs fine with I comment out 'IF @reportID <> 0'.
The @reportID is a parmeter value that is passed to the applicable dataset.
The @reportID can have more than one value.
Thus can you show me sql and/or tell me what I need to do to solve the issue for me?

What's the purpose of the IF statement? Everything worked fine until I put that in there. Can you base the report on a stored procedure so that the evaluation of the IF statement happens in SSMS, not in SSRS?

The purpose is for the user to select 0, 1 or up to 200 subreports.
Thus I am thinking of calling the following following function to split out the parameter values:
FUNCTION [dbo].[fn_splitString]
(
@listString VARCHAR(MAX)
)
RETURNS TABLE WITH SCHEMABINDING
AS
RETURN
(
SELECT SUBSTRING(l.listString, sn.Num + 1, CHARINDEX(',', l.listString, sn.Num + 1) - sn.Num - 1) _id
FROM (SELECT ',' + LTRIM(RTRIM(@listString)) + ',' AS listString) l
CROSS JOIN dbo.sequenceNumbers sn
WHERE sn.Num < LEN(l.listString)
AND SUBSTRING(l.listString, sn.Num, 1) = ','
)
GO
Can you show me sql code on how to remove the @reportID <> 0 t-sql above and replace by calling the fn_splitString
function?
