  • You need a collation as STATUS = 'Closed', but not an assignment. That's the reason for the error. Just remove : in STATUS := 'Closed'

  • Please read Under what circumstances may I add “urgent” or other similar phrases to my question, in order to obtain faster answers? - the summary is that this is not an ideal way to address volunteers, and is probably counterproductive to obtaining answers. Please refrain from adding this to your questions.
