Question : sql: issue checking if character is in number range

hi
i am writing a sql query, and one part i check
case when(h.status in (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8))

all of these  status's have a numerical value except status Q, hence i get
Conversion failed when converting the varchar value 'Q' to data type int.

can i use a convert here ? and if so how would i best implement it

Answer : sql: issue checking if character is in number range

Something like this perhaps:
case when(h.status in ('1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8'))
