    execute ('create view DBO.vw_ AS ' + @query)

    Try doing a PRINT @query instead of executing it. That'll show you what your variable contains so you can see where the problem is.

    Edit: Once you're done with development, you'll want to remark the PRINT statement or remove it from your procedure.

  • Hi Ed,

    Thanks for the tip. I have updated the script using Print, which showed me there was a missing ] at the end of my script afterthe last @PivotCols+ which i have now included.

    here is the line of the script i updated.

    pivot(max(ReferralDateTime) for [row] in ('+@PivotCols+'])) as tbl';

    But it comes up with another error

    Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Procedure vw_, Line 5

    Incorrect syntax near ']'.

    Please advice

  • Take a look at what you're trying to execute. Can you execute your built-up statement in SSMS outside of the procedure? You have another error in your dynamic SQL that you have to find and fix.
