Error - Invalid length parameter passed to the LEFT or SUBSTRING function
I'm not a developer but I'm here to find help with great developers . I do very basic SQL but complex ones I've got no clue as below.
SELECT aualdocs.fmt_acc, aualdocs.ddn_cd1, dbo.aualrefn.dsc_no1, aunrmast.nam_fam, RTRIM(aunrmast.nam_gv1) + ' ' + RTRIM(COALESCE (aunrmast.nam_gv2, ''))

This query was working fine initially, but recently when triggered it was giving out an Error:
Invalid length parameter passed to the LEFT or SUBSTRING function.
I've got no idea where to start looking. Hopefully someone can assist.
If anyone has an idea, you may need to copy and paste your solutions in the comments for me to try it out on my DB so see if that works. I'm running this is MSSQL using SQL Studio.

Who wrote this code? You or someone else? If someone else, why don't you ask "someone else"? There are obvious assumptions on which the code is based. You will either need to correct those assumptions or correct the data. Pick a path first. Are there rows where res_ad1 does not have any spaces?

Minimize... Which row is the problem row, and what data causes it.

Do a binary search! Remove half of the query, did the error disappear or not? Loop.

Who wrote this code? You or someone else? If someone else, why don't you ask "someone else"? There are obvious assumptions on which the code is based. You will either need to correct those assumptions or correct the data. Pick a path first. Are there rows where res_ad1 does not have any spaces?

I tried to troubleshoot by removing the top pars of the query and putting in one by one. Found out this section is the issue which is causing the Error. Any idea how to fix this?

Try with replacing it with
REVERSE(LEFT(REVERSE(RTRIM(res_ad1)), IIF((PATINDEX('% %',REVERSE(RTRIM(res_ad1)))-1) > 0, (PATINDEX('% %',REVERSE(RTRIM(res_ad1)))-1), 0)))
