Cannot call methods on %ls.
Error Message:
Msg 258, Level 15, State 1, Line 4
Cannot call methods on %ls.
Severity level:
15.
Description:
This error message appears when you try to call an invalid method for a data type.
Consequences:
The T-SQL statement can be parsed, but causes the error at runtime.
Resolution:
Errors of the Severity level 16 are generated by the user and can be fixed by the SQL Server user. The statement cannot be run this way. The method being called must be valid and compatible for the data type.
Versions:
All versions of SQL Server.
Example(s):
DECLARE @xml varchar(MAX);
SET @xml = ‘<Result />’;
SELECT
@xml.query (‘for $a in(1, 2), $b in(3, 4)
where
$a < $b
return sum($a + $b)’) as XML;
Remarks:
In the above example we try to call the method .query on a variable of type varchar(MAX). This raises the error.
will you tell me where i am laging in below example
error is ‘can not call method on numeric’
error number is same…
the trigger is
ALTER TRIGGER history_update
ON dbo.Sale_Bill
FOR UPDATE/* INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE */
AS
BEGIN
if update (Total_received)
begin
update PendingBillPaidTransactionHistory
set PendingBillPaidTransactionHistory.Amount = PendingBillPaidTransactionHistory.Amount + inserted.Total_received – deleted.Total.received
from inserted, deleted
where PandingBillPaidTransactionHistory.BillID = Sale_Bill.Bill_id
and inserted.Bill_id = deleted.Bill_id
update ReceiptTransaction
set ReceiptTransaction.TransactionAmount = ReceiptTransaction.TransactionAmount + inserted.Total_received – deleted.Total.received
from inserted, deleted
where ReceiptTransaction.TID = (select TID from PandingBillPaidTransactionHistory where PandingBillPaidTransactionHistory.BillID = Sale_Bill.Bill_id)
and inserted.Bill_id = deleted.Bill_id
end
end
Looks like this
deleted.Total.receivedshould really be
deleted.Total_receivedNote the underscore instead of the dot.
