Hi,

I have to get the following:

If Datediff (getdate(), orderdate) =18 then 'Overdue by (18-5) days
Else if Datediff(getdate(),Orderdate)=16 then 'Overdue by (16-5) days

I don't know how to get the variable.

Appreciate any help in this.

Thanks,
Petronas

You can only get the result from one row of the table in a variable

select @v =
case when Datediff(dd,orderdate,getdate()) >=18 then 'Overdue by (18-5) days'
when Datediff(dd,orderdate,getdate()) >=16 then 'Overdue by (16-5) days'
end
from tbl
where orderid = xxx

==========================================
Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
SSIS can be used in a similar way.
