    If add the space in string value showing “an integer “

    Example :
    DECLARE @str AS VARCHAR(10) = ‘8 ‘
    IF TRY_PARSE(@str AS INT) IS NULL
    SELECT ‘Not an Integer’ AS IsInteger
    ELSE
    SELECT ‘An Integer’ AS IsInteger
    GO

    DECLARE @str AS VARCHAR(10) = ‘1’
    Select (Case When PatIndex(‘%[^0-9]%’,@Str)=0 Then ‘An Integer’ Else ‘Not An Integer’ End) As IsInteger
