CASE

Fellow sufferers

I am trying to apply condition in my reports, something like:

SELECT

CASE employee.employmenttype

      WHEN  'Hourly' THEN 'N/A'

     WHEN 'Contract' THEN employee.familyname

END

The CASE word does not get highlighted by the editor in ALM, so apparently it is not a keyword, but from SQL Server forums it seems it is part of SQL.

Any experience with conditional in geenral or with CASE in particular? We use SQL Server 2008 as DB.

Thanks in advance,

Peter Hansen
