CASE statement used in Oracle 10g -ORA-00934 Error

Question

I am getting ORA-00934 group function not allowed. What am I doing wrong here.
Please advice.
select count( case WHEN TRUNC(so_due_Date) = sysdate
AND ne_state = 'GA'
AND ((so_type LIKE '%CHANGE%') OR (so_type LIKE '%NEW%')) THEN 1
end)INTO v_due_today,
count( case WHERE TRUNC(so_due_Date) = sysdate + 1
AND ne_state = 'GA'
AND ((so_type LIKE '%CHANGE%') OR (so_type LIKE '%NEW%')) THEN 1
end)INTO v_due_tomorrow
FROM tbl_cif_current ;
Thanks,
jaya.

Answer 1

are you using this in pl/sql block or at SQl
there two things.
you are missing
1 missing )<--- closing para for the count.
2. if rou are using pl/sql block then INTO clause goes after all the column,
SELECT COUNT( CASE WHEN TRUNC(so_due_Date) = SYSDATE AND ne_state = 'GA' AND ((so_type LIKE '%CHANGE%') OR (so_type LIKE '%NEW%')) THEN 1
             END)),
COUNT( CASE WHERE TRUNC(so_due_Date) = SYSDATE + 1 AND ne_state = 'GA' AND ((so_type LIKE '%CHANGE%') OR (so_type LIKE '%NEW%')) THEN 1
END))
FROM tbl_cif_current ;
or in pl/sql
SELECT COUNT( CASE WHEN TRUNC(so_due_Date) = SYSDATE AND ne_state = 'GA' AND ((so_type LIKE '%CHANGE%') OR (so_type LIKE '%NEW%')) THEN 1
             END)),
COUNT( CASE WHERE TRUNC(so_due_Date) = SYSDATE + 1 AND ne_state = 'GA' AND ((so_type LIKE '%CHANGE%') OR (so_type LIKE '%NEW%')) THEN 1
END))
  INTO v_due_tomorrow,v_due_today
FROM tbl_cif_current ;typo correction
