Changing Account Number Containers

Overview

The following changes were made on all Report Containers that have use the Account Number Expression. In the English version it’s called Accountno and in French it’s called N_Compte. The change was to add a “cast” to a portion of the expression that defines the account number. Every report that uses the account number needs to have this change made to its container. Listed below are the existing SQL code and the updated SQL code reflecting the code with the “CAST” added.

Current SQL

CASE WHEN tcompoth.bUseDept = 1 THEN CONCAT(LEFT(taccount.lId,tcompoth.nActNumLen),CONCAT('-', "0000")) ELSE LEFT(taccount.lId,tcompoth.nActNumLen) END AS Accountno,

New SQL with CAST

CASE WHEN tcompoth.bUseDept = 1 THEN CONCAT(CAST(LEFT(taccount.lId,tcompoth.nActNumLen) as char(8)),CONCAT('-', "0000")) ELSE CAST(LEFT(taccount.lId,tcompoth.nActNumLen) as char(8)) END AS Accountno,
