'ghi', 'T789',
'jkl', 'T1011',
'mno', 'T12'

Please don't post multiple threads for the same problem. You'll only divide the help you would receive and confuse people on the version that you're using.

Again, your request is a bit difficult to understand because you've not provided the necessary test data or DDL. Please see the your other post which appears to be a near duplicate to this one.

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
