  HI all,

  I want to add the result of a Select statement inside a parameter, not too sure how to pull this off, but here it is...

  --Declare needed variables

  Declare @NoOfApprovals Int

  --Get count of approvals

  Select @NoOfApprovals =

  (

  select NoOfApprovalsToClaim

  from viewManualApprovalsAwaitingProcess

  )

  --HELP HERE PLEASE !!!! Add number as parameter into email stored procedure.

  DECLARE @rc

  EXECUTE @rc = USLO1SQL09.GEUSEmail.dbo.spSaveEmailWithAttachmentAndQueue

  ,'You Have [@NoOfApprovals] To Claim' -- subject

  GO

  Here is one way to do this.

  --Declare needed variables

  --Declare @NoOfApprovals Int --don't need this

  declare @Subject varchar(100) --adjust to meet your actual datatype of the parameter

  --Get count of approvals

  Select @Subject = 'You Have ' + cast(NoOfApprovalsToClaim as varchar(4)) + ' to Claim'

  from viewManualApprovalsAwaitingProcess

  --HELP HERE PLEASE !!!! Add number as parameter into email stored procedure.

  DECLARE @rc

  EXECUTE @rc = USLO1SQL09.GEUSEmail.dbo.spSaveEmailWithAttachmentAndQueue

  ,@Subject

  GO
