I have values for height and weight stored in MS SQL 2008 as characters.
I need to calculate BMI, and store the result as varchar in the database.
The result always returns as 0. I tried declaring BMI as Float and Decimal and get the same result. I don't need the decimal part - the whole number result would be fine.
@BMI_NOTE is declared as VARCHAR(1000)
@Height and @Weight are declared as INT.
--Calculate BMI
SET @Height = CAST(@L1s3503 AS INT);
SET @Weight = CAST(@L1s3504 AS INT);
--Calculate BMI
--IF ((@L1s3504 IS NOT NULL) AND (@L1s3503 IS NOT NULL))
SET @BMI = ((@Weight/@Height/@Height) * 703) ;
--INSERT into NotesAnswers
SET @BMI_NOTE = 'BMI = ' + CAST(@BMI AS CHAR(4)) + ' Height = ' + CAST(@Height AS CHAR(4)) + ' Weight = ' + CAST(@Weight AS CHAR(4));
INSERT INTO NotesAnswer (Facility, Resident, InstrumentInstance, Note)
VALUES(@Facility, @Resident, @InstrumentInstanceID, @BMI_NOTE);
The values for @Height and @weight are saved correct.
Thanks for any help
