  Hi All,

  I need a help from you.

  I wants to store a value in a variable return from sp_executesql statements.

  let's say...

  declare @SpCode INT

  Exec @SpCode = sp_executesql N'Select Top 1 SPCode from Temp';

  Select @SpCode

  I am unable 2 see the result for this..

  but when i am storing in a table, its working fine...but i need to store one single value. i don't need to store this value in a temp table. its taking too much time for me...

  Can you suggest the correct way to handle this??

  Thanks in advance..

  Milu.

  what you want to do is look at the books online examples for sp_executesql; look specifically at the OUTPUT parameters.

  here's an example directly modified from BOL: I'm selecting an arbitrary id from sysobjects; you could remove the part that I use for a WHERE statement and paste in your sql, or make it so the where statement is WHERE 1 = 1 or WHERE 1197 = 1197 or something similar for testing.

  SET NOCOUNT ON

  DECLARE @IntVariable int;

  DECLARE @SQLString nvarchar(500);

  DECLARE @ParmDefinition nvarchar(500);

  DECLARE @SpCode int;

  SET @IntVariable = 1197; --arbitrary so i don't return a small number

  SET @SQLString = N'Select Top 1 @innerSPCode=id from sysobjects WHERE id > @level';

  SET @ParmDefinition = N'@level int, @innerSPCode int OUTPUT';

  EXECUTE sp_executesql @SQLString, @ParmDefinition, @level = @IntVariable,@innerSPCode=@SpCode OUTPUT;

  SELECT @SpCode;
