Error in Report Query

Question

Hi Friends
I have a report with the following query
SELECT  DISTINCT
        CASE WHEN IVPROVISION_ID = 1 OR
            IVPROVISION_ID = 5 OR
            IVPROVISION_ID = 4 OR
            IVPROVISION_ID = 10
        THEN
            APEX_ITEM.CHECKBOX(1,'#ROWNUM#','onclick=enableButton2()')
        ELSE
            APEX_ITEM.CHECKBOX(1,'#ROWNUM#','DISABLED')
        END "PROVISION FOR IV",
        CASE WHEN ISMPROVISION_ID = 1 OR
            ISMPROVISION_ID = 5 OR
            ISMPROVISION_ID = 4 OR
            IVPROVISION_ID = 10
        THEN
            APEX_ITEM.CHECKBOX(2, '#ROWNUM#', 'onclick=enableButton3()')
        ELSE
            APEX_ITEM.CHECKBOX(2, '#ROWNUM#', 'disabled')
        END "PROVISION FOR ISM",
DELIVERED_SERVICE_NAME as "Existing DS",
APEX_ITEM.HIDDEN(3, EQUIPMENT_ID) || APEX_ITEM.SELECT_LIST_FROM_LOV(4, DELIVERED_SERVICE_NAME,'DSLEVEL_LOV', '', 'NO') as "DS Level"
FROM PROV_VIEW
where ((:P0_CLIENT = PROV_VIEW.CUSTOMER_ID)
AND (:P0_SITE = PROV_VIEW.SITE_ID))If I make a modification in the initial part as below the query is throwing error..
SELECT DISTINCT
CASE WHEN IVPROVISION_ID = 1 OR
IVPROVISION_ID = 5 OR
IVPROVISION_ID = 4 OR
IVPROVISION_ID = 10
THEN
APEX_ITEM.CHECKBOX(1,'#ROWNUM#','onclick=enableButton2()') AND APEX_ITEM.CHECKBOX(2,'#ROWNUM#','DISABLED')
ELSE
APEX_ITEM.CHECKBOX(1,'#ROWNUM#','DISABLED')
END "PROVISION FOR IV",
CASE WHEN ISMPROVISION_ID = 1 OR
ISMPROVISION_ID = 5 OR
ISMPROVISION_ID = 4 OR
IVPROVISION_ID = 10
THEN
APEX_ITEM.CHECKBOX(2, '#ROWNUM#', 'onclick=enableButton3()') AND APEX_ITEM.CHECKBOX(1,'#ROWNUM#','DISABLED')
ELSE
APEX_ITEM.CHECKBOX(2, '#ROWNUM#', 'disabled')
END "PROVISION FOR ISM",
DELIVERED_SERVICE_NAME as "Existing DS",
APEX_ITEM.HIDDEN(3, EQUIPMENT_ID) || APEX_ITEM.SELECT_LIST_FROM_LOV(4, DELIVERED_SERVICE_NAME,'DSLEVEL_LOV', '', 'NO') as "DS Level"
FROM PROV_VIEW
where ((:P0_CLIENT = PROV_VIEW.CUSTOMER_ID)
AND (:P0_SITE = PROV_VIEW.SITE_ID))
Any clue?

Hi Rose,
The 'AND' in the 'THEN' part of the case statement is syntactically incorrect so you'll need to remove that.
Its not clear from your comment if there is an order of precedence.. ie if IVPROVISION_ID has one of the 1,4,5,10 values, if that always results in the 2nd checkbox being disabled...
Either way, to solve your problem you'll need to test for the values of the 'other' column within your case statement.. eg (if 1st column values in (a,b,c) and 2nd column values not in (x,y,z) then do .... ) If you do that with each of your columns then you should be good.. (eg (x=1 or x=4 or x=5 or x=10) and (y!=1 and y!=4 and y !=5 and y!=10)) then ...
Are you testing your SQL outside of the Apex development framework 1st? Whilst its OK to do it in the Apex builder it'll be easier if you write your SQL in SQL*Developer (or something similar) as its going to be quicker to debug any syntax errors.
Cheers,
Paul.
