The error code much some it up; your query is referencing a column UNIQ that does not exist in the table.

This is found within the subquery of your CTE
(SELECT (IDNO + LTRIM(TRANCODE)) FROM XTRANS_COMB WHERE CATEGORY=[UNIQ])

How to fix... Well that depends on what UNIQ really is/means:

If this is meant to be a text comparison with the value UNIQ then the clause should be
WHERE Category = 'UNIQ'

Or is this supposed to be some reference eluding to the fact that you are seeking Unique values? This would change the SELECT portion of the statement to include the DISTINCT keyword.

If you need additional assistance, you would probably want to edit (improve) question and add in the business requirement that you are attempting to fulfil
