local variables in case statment

Hi

I am trying to use a global variable in a case when and am not getting the correct results. If I use static data, it works fine.

Here is a tableless example, which should return Shipper. Any ideas are appreciated.

Code:
declare @shipperGBS varchar(3000)
declare @sQuote char
set @sQuote = char(39)
set @shipperGBS = 'ACI,ADO,ALD,AMS,AWB'
set @shipperGBS =  Replace(@shipperGBS, ',',  @sQuote + ',' + @sQuote) 
set @shipperGBS = @sQuote + @shipperGBS +  @sQuote
select case when ('ACI' IN (@shipperGBS)) then 'Shipper' else 'Consignee' end as ClientCharge

As @shipperGBS holds the value 'ACI','ADO','ALD','AMS','AWB'

'ACI' IN (@shipperGBS)

can never be true. You can solve this by using dynamic sql

Code:
exec('select case when ''ACI'' in (' + @shipperGBS + ') then ...')


but that should be avoided. Describe the real problem instead.
