Need Help With A Case Statement.

Question

Apex 3.2
I currently have a report with the sql
select oid oid,
APEX_ITEM.MD5_CHECKSUM(oid, jobid, gdc, status)||
apex_item.hidden(2,oid)||
apex_item.display_and_save(3,jobid) jobid,
apex_item.display_and_save(4,gdc) gdc,
apex_item.display_and_save(5,bday) bday,
num_rows num_rows,
status current_status,
APEX_ITEM.SELECT_LIST_FROM_LOV(6,status,'WORKLOAD_STATUS_FULL_LIST',null,'YES',null,'-Select-') new_status,
case
    when status in ('TO_TABLE','ERROR_TABLE') then 'PREPARED'
    when status in ('TO_FILE','ERROR_FILE') then 'IN_TABLE'
    when status like '%SEND%' and status <> 'SEND_RENAME_OK' then 'IN_FILE'
    when trim(translate(status,'-1234567890',' ')) is null then to_char(jobid)
    else status
  end status_if_reset
from scp_workload
where jobid = :P28_JOBIDWhat I want to do is, if the result of status_if_reset column
is not in ('PREPARED','EMPTY_FILE','IN_FILE','SEND_RENAME_OK','DEPRICIATED')
then the new_status status column should be the APEX_ITEM.SELECT_LIST_FROM_LOV.
If not it should just be status (normal report column)
Hope I have explained properly

Your function had errors but maybe that was copy paste. The way you wrote your code is way to complicated. This should work for you:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION fn_28_get_status (p_status IN VARCHAR2)
   RETURN NUMBER
AS
   v_status   NUMBER;
BEGIN
   IF    p_status IN
            ('TO_TABLE', 'ERROR_TABLE', 'TO_FILE', 'ERROR_FILE',
             'SEND_RENAME_OK')
      OR p_status LIKE '%SEND%'
   THEN
      v_status := 1;
   ELSE
      v_status := 0;
   END IF;
   RETURN v_status;
END fn_28_get_status;
SELECT OID OID,
          apex_item.md5_checksum (OID, jobid, gdc, status)
       || apex_item.hidden (2, OID)
       || apex_item.display_and_save (3, jobid) jobid,
       apex_item.display_and_save (4, gdc) gdc,
       apex_item.display_and_save (5, bday) bday, num_rows num_rows,
       status current_status,
       CASE
          WHEN fn_28_get_status (status) = 1
             THEN apex_item.select_list_from_lov
                                     (9,
                                      status,
                                      'WORKLOAD_STATUS_FULL_LIST',
                                      NULL,
                                      'YES',
                                      NULL,
                                      '-Select-'
          ELSE status
       END new_status
  FROM scp_workload
WHERE jobid = :p28_jobidYou should not expect the others will debug you code. They don't have your objects to test.
