I'm not clear on what you want as an output. Can you show an example? Are you just trying to concatenate the UK, INT, EU and SC columns together?

Thanks for replying. The output would be something like;
i am getting stuck due to the CASE statements i have to change the bit field to string.

SumOfTotal,Code,Year,FSG_Grp,title,modename,YearofProg
15, AV34, 2012, UK,My Title, Mode 1, 2013
12, AV78, 2011, INT, My Title, Mode 2, 2012
12, AV67, 2013, SC, My Title, Mode 3, 2014
45, AV23, 2009, EU, My Title, Mode 1, 2010
