I'm getting this error on a SQL user defined function:
An expression of non-boolean type specified in a context where a condition is expected, near ')'.
For this:
UPDATE LMI_Contact
SET Phone = NULL
WHERE dbo.LMI_IsSingleCharacterRepeated(Phone, '0')
where the function can be created using:
-- ***this will also find NULL and empty string values***
CREATE FUNCTION LMI_IsSingleCharacterRepeated (@string varchar(max), @char char(1))
RETURNS bit
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @index int
DECLARE @len int
DECLARE @currentChar char(1)
SET @index = 1
SET @len= LEN(@string)
WHILE @index <= @len
BEGIN
SET @currentChar = SUBSTRING(@string, @index, 1)
IF @currentChar = @char
SET @index= @index+ 1
ELSE
RETURN 0
END
RETURN 1
END;
GO
This function is for checking if a string is any specified single character, repeated.
