I am trying to use IIF() in a select statement. The boolean expression checks to see if a fields value is equal to an empty string. The syntax is like so:
SELECT IIF(field = '','ONe action','Another')
I am getting the error "syntax error near ="
I tried a simple test:
SELECT IIF(2 > 1, 'yes','no')
and I am getting "syntax errror near >"
This is leading me to believe that IIF is not working at all.
I am using SQL SERVER 2008 R2, is there something that needs to be configured to allow IIF() to work? Is there something about the syntax that I am missing? My test is simple as can be and I still get the syntax error.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks much!
