Hello All!

Seem to be having a little problem with a syntax error on this.

UPDATE Bankroll
IF UserID IN (SELECT USERID FROM tblUserID WHERE Pass = '1')
SET NewCredit = Credits + Cast(@win as int)
ELSE
SET NewCredit = '0'

SQL tells me incorrect syntax near IF and near "="

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

I don't believe you can use conditional statements as part of the
update statement. You might want to use something like this:

UPDATE Bankroll
SET NewCredit = Credits + Cast(@win as int)
where UserID IN (SELECT USERID FROM tblUserID WHERE Pass = '1')

UPDATE Bankroll
SET NewCredit = '0'
where UserID NOT IN (SELECT USERID FROM tblUserID WHERE Pass =
'1')

I simplified your structure a littel bit , but I'm sure you will get an
idea

create table #t (NewCredit int,Credits int ,USERID int)
insert into #t values (10,20,1)
insert into #t values(1,30,1)
insert into #t values(88,58,20)

declare @win int
set @win=1000
update #t set NewCredit =case when userid in(select userid from #t where
userid=1) then Credits+@win else 0 end

select * from #t

drop table #t

Thanks EMartinez! Works perfect! Thanks for your suggestion too Uri, but
I'm not able to change the SP that much.
