    You have single quoted a variable, making it a string-type constant: '@Date_Last_Payment'

    Hi Chris,

    I have temporarily changed it to a varchar - in the input parameters bit however I still get the following error

    Server: Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Procedure STP_Agent_upload, Line 92

    [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Line 92: Incorrect syntax near ' Reason: there is no transaction that matches the policy number, agent and transaction date specified.'.

    Thanks

    Have you removed the single quotes from around the variable - everywhere it appears in the sproc?

    Hi Chris,

    Not sure I understand. Sorry...

    The colour of the statement seem to show it is correct?

    Or do you mean the initialising bit is wrong?

    If I cut my query right down - then I am still getting incorrect syntax

    CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[STP_Agent_upload]

    (

    -- List Input Parameters

    @Agent_Number VARCHAR(50), --column A

    @Date_Last_Payment VARCHAR(50),--column C

    @policy_number VARCHAR (50),--column D

    @Agent_Payment_Amount VARCHAR (50),-- [Net] -> this is column M

    @Row_Number VARCHAR (100),--PASS this from IMS!

    @Return_Message VARCHAR (255) OUTPUT

    )

    AS BEGIN

    --List Variables Here

    DECLARE @Record_Count AS VARCHAR (100)--Used to flag whether there is an existing record

    DECLARE @productAS VARCHAR (100)

    DECLARE @Agent_URNAS VARCHAR (100)

    DECLARE @InsurerAS VARCHAR (100)

    DECLARE @Transaction_CounterAS VARCHAR (100)

    DECLARE @Agent_Introducer_URNAS VARCHAR (100)

    DECLARE @CompanyAS VARCHAR (100)

    ---------------------------------------------Calculations---------------------------------------------

    --1. Find Product

    SELECT @product = [Cover type] FROM policytype WHERE [policy prefix] = LEFT (@policy_number, 2)

    IF @product = '' SET @Return_Message = @policy_number
