I write this code and runs well.



select LItmSale.linkid,
SKMaterial_Value=case
when (LItmSale.Value1>=8 AND LItmSale.Value1<=9) then
convert(varchar(20),convert(decimal(13,4),material.value6))+'|'+convert(varchar(20),convert(decimal(13,4),material.value7))+'|'+'MT'
when (LItmSale.Value1>=13 AND LItmSale.Value1<=14) then
convert(varchar(20),convert(decimal(13,4),material.value8))+'|'+convert(varchar(20),convert(decimal(13,4),material.value9))+'|'+'XT'
else 'TX'
end,
convert(decimal(7,4),DocHdSal.NetValueS)
from litmsale
LEFT JOIN Material WITH (READUNCOMMITTED)
ON (LItmSale.LinkIDNum = Material.AA)
LEFT JOIN DocHdSal WITH (READUNCOMMITTED)
ON (LItmSale.DocumentAA = DocHdSal.AA)


Some times I get this error.

(5 row(s) affected)

Server: Msg 8115, Level 16, State 8, Line 1
Arithmetic overflow error converting numeric to data type numeric.

Little help?

Thanks
 
The precision value that you're using in one of your converts is probably too small. Check the maximum value in each column (Value1, Value2, Value3 etc..) where you're converting to demcimal. A precision of 13 with a scale of 4 gives you a maximum value of 999999999 that can be stored on the left hand side of the decimal point.

Check
