You can't do updates/insert/deletes in a function. You would need to make this a stored proc instead. Have you considered MERGE? I think you could probably turn this whole thing into a MERGE with OUTPUT.Actually this script I write to create a STNNo which will I used to insert in a column value with another stored procedure...
How can I achieve this thing?
The shortest path is to turn this into a proc instead of a function. There seems to be a lot of improvements you could make so this code flows a bit smoother.
