| Subj: |  | Re: Changing a column name while concatinating |  |  |  | From: |  | Nomula, Madhukar |  
 Ok but now NEW_CUST_NAME is not what i wanted. i want NEW_CUST_NAME = customer name (or some modified customer name) which i can use in the
same select statement. 
     select (customername || 'abc') as NEW_CUST_NAME || custid ||  (case when
     NEW_CUST_NAME = 'something' then 1 else 0 end)
     from customer;
 This won't work simply becaz i am changing the column (customername || 'abc') as NEW_CUST_NAME. In my situation (customername || 'abc')
is a big 20line case statement which i am using in 5 other case statements of the same select staement.
