Bigquery error, "parenthesized expression cannot be parsed" - sql

Question

Hello i have the next code and when i run it inside Bigquery is giving me the "correct" answer but when i put it into a sh script and execute the script inside google shell vm gives me the next error. Any thoughts?
I suppose the error lies in the need to multiply case/when statements results inside another case/when statement..
This is an example of what my code looks like:
SELECT CASE WHEN (
(CASE WHEN TABLE1.COL1 = 'X' THEN 0 ELSE 1 END) *
(CASE WHEN TABLE2.COL2 = 'Y' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) *
(CASE WHEN (SELECT 0
FROM TABLE3
WHERE TABLE3.ID = TABLE2.ID) = 0 THEN 0 ELSE 1 END)) = 1
THEN (SELECT '111111') ELSE NULL END
FROM TABLE1
INNER JOIN TABLE2
ON TABLE1.ID = TABLE2.ID
FULL JOIN (SELECT COL1,'TRUE' FROM TABLE4) AS XX
ON XX.COL1 = TABLE1.COL1 AND XX.COL1 IS NULL
WHERE
TABLE1.COL3 = 'YY'
I cant provide the expected result but the result of that query gives me the next error: Parenthesized expression cannot be parsed as an
expression, struct constructor, or subquery at...

Answer 1

I'll post debugging tips as an answer since I think you'll probably find the problem this way. From a command-line prompt, list recent jobs:
bq ls -j --all
The failed query job will probably be at the top. Copy the job ID and use it with the next command:
bq --prettyformat=json show -j YOUR_JOB_ID
This will print out the complete job configuration as well as the error message. What I suspect you'll see is that the query is garbled; the quotes or some other character may have caused unexpected behavior when interpreted by the shell. When executing queries from the command-line, it's a good idea to put the contents in a file, then pipe it as input to the bq tool, e.g.
bq query --use_legacy_sql=false < query.sql
This prevents the shell from intercepting any part of the query as a command.

Thanks #Elliott Brossard, i resolved the problem with literally no change in the code hah. So what i did was rewrite the bq query sentence like: bq query --destination_table=.. --use_legacy_sql=false --replace 'QUERY' instead of assign the query to a variable and then execute it with an echo | bq query sentence..
Thanks
