ALL Option

After consulting in MSFT textbooks, I tried adding a UNION to my SELECT
statement for parameters list
Select Distinct Homebase, HomebaseName From dbo.Portal_D_PrvList
UNION Select -1,'All Locations'
It gives me an error message "Error converting NVARCHAR value to datatype
integer" My values in dbo.Portal_D_PrvList tables are nvarchar as they are
text items. Any ideas?
ThanksTry this
Union ALL
Select -1 as Homebase,'All Locations' AS HomebaseName
