Hi,

The following case stmt is not compiling in stored proc.

  select (case when 'N' in ('C','N','U','V') then 'C' else (case when 'N' = 'P' then 'P'
  end) end)
  into l_ln_status
    from dual;

I get the following error :

PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "CASE" when expecting one of the following:

( - + mod not null others <an identifier> <a double-quoted delimited-identifier> <a bind variable> avg count cur

the same sql runs at sqlprompt.

Thanks
Manoj.
