How to write NOT operator in an apex trigger SOQL query

I would like to add a clause in the query where status not equal to "Approved or Closed or Denied". How do I add that logic in this query
List<Case> cas=Database.query('SELECT Id,CaseNumber FROM Case WHERE AccountId =\''+sc+'\' AND VIN_Entry__c =\''+ event.VIN__c+'\'');

Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I think this should work fine.

List<Case> cas=Database.query('SELECT Id,CaseNumber FROM Case WHERE AccountId =\''+sc+'\' AND VIN_Entry__c =\''+ event.VIN__c+'\ AND Status!='Approved ' AND Status!='Closed' AND Status!='Denied'');

Hi Pavani,

I trust you are doing very well.

Please use below approach:
  
String[] filter = new String[]{'Approved','Closed','Denied'};
List<Case> cas=Database.query('SELECT Id,CaseNumber FROM Case WHERE AccountId =\''+sc+'\' AND VIN_Entry__c =\''+ event.VIN__c+'\' AND Status NOT IN: filter');

I hope it helps you.

Kindly let me know if it helps you and close your query by marking it as solved so that it can help others in the future.

Thanks and Regards,
Khan Anas

Thank you Khan for the repsonse. I'm getting an error when I keep the status not in filter before event.VIN__c but now the problem is if the status clause is after the evnt. VIN__C the apex trigger is not returning right results

Hi Pavani,

You are misplacing single quotes. Just copy paste below line of code. I have tested in my org and it is working fine.
  
String[] filter = new String[]{'Approved','Closed','Denied'};
List<Case> cas=Database.query('SELECT Id,CaseNumber FROM Case WHERE AccountId =\''+sc+'\' AND VIN_Entry__c =\''+ event.VIN__c+'\' AND Status NOT IN: filter');
