Morning folks,
I'm a bit stumped here. The issue I've got is syntax related I'm sure.
Essentially I want to run the results of an Stored Proc into a variable
The error that I'm getting is:
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'EXEC'
DECLARE @Cols as nvarchar(max)
SET @Cols = 'SELECT @ColsOut = EXEC DB..sp_1 ''DB..Tmp_LkUp_Tbl'' , NULL , B, ''MOP'',''TTL_Cnt'' '
EXEC sp_Executesql @Cols, N'@ColsOut varchar(max) Out', @cols OUTPUT
PRINT @Cols
Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is starting to frustrate me somewhat
Thanks

the syntax
EXEC @myvariable = dbo.myproc;
will take the RETURN value from the stored proc and put it into @myvariable, which IIRC must be of Integer data type.
It looks like you are trying to return a String (a list of column names maybe?), which you can do two ways (ok more but 2 for now):
You can put your output string into an OUTPUT parameter of the stored procedure and do this:
CREATE PROC dbo.myproc @result varchar(max) OUTPUT
AS
SET @result='myresult';
RETURN;
GO
DECLARE @myvariable varchar(max);
EXEC dbo.myproc @myvariable OUTPUT;
GO
OR you can SELECT your string and insert the results of the stored proc into a table :
CREATE PROC dbo.myproc
AS
SELECT 'myresult' as Col1;
GO
CREATE TABLE #result ( myresult VARCHAR( MAX ) );
GO
INSERT #result ( myresult )
EXEC dbo.myproc;
GO
Perhaps if you post the code for sp_1 we can give you a more specific answer?

HI there
Just going to start digesting your response, but just for completeness here is SP1 (In reality called sp_RemFlds....)
It's designed to be flexible to return differing outputs depending on what I need, in this case I just want it to return the all field names from the given Tbl (with an alias) without the fields in the final 2 vars.
I will then use this list in another statement to just pull the fields I need
[Code]
ALTER PROCEDURE sp_RemFldsFromSelect @Tbl as nvarchar(600), @ResCol as varchar(3) = NULL, @Alias as varchar(10) = NULL, @Cl1 as nvarchar(100) = NULL, @Cl2 as nvarchar(100) = NULL, @Cl3 as nvarchar(100) = NULL, @Cl4 as nvarchar(100) = NULL, @Cl5 as nvarchar(100) = NULL
as
/*
This Sp will allow you to query a table and returen a result that excludes some columns
@Tbl= Will need to be a fully extended name as you'll be running this invariably from a different DB
@ResCol= Res = Return Results of the query, Col = Return the columns only
Examples:
EXEC DB..sp_RemFldsFromSelect '[DB]..Tbl' returns all columns
EXEC DB..sp_RemFldsFromSelect '[DB]..Tbl' , NULL ,'B','Syr' returns all columns apart from Syr with an alias of B(ie B.SysCustRef)
EXEC DB..sp_RemFldsFromSelect '[DB]..Tbl' , 'Col' ,'Syr' returns all columns apart from Syr
EXEC DB..sp_RemFldsFromSelect '[DB]..Tbl' , 'Res' ,'Syr' returns a select * for all columns apart from Syr
*/
DECLARE

SET@Cl1 = CASE WHEN @Cl1 IS NOT NULL THEN '''' + @Cl1 + '''' ELSE '''NULL'''END

SET @SC= CASE WHEN PARSENAME(@Tbl, 3) IS NULL THEN 'INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS' ELSE PARSENAME(@Tbl, 3) + '.INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS' END
SET @TblO= PARSENAME(@Tbl, 1)
SET @ResCol = CASE WHEN @ResCol IS NULL THEN 'Col'ELSE @ResColEND
SET @Alias= CASE WHEN @Alias IS NULL THEN ''ELSE @Alias + '.'END
SELECT @Cols =

Cheers Bhaskar.Shetty
I knew it would be a simple explanation
And a big thanks to Mister.Magoo too 😀
Final solution in case anyone stumbles across this (or wants a dynamic solution to the same issue)
The actual reason I need this is the data I need to query on a regular basis is made up of a pivot, where the actual columns alter ( names & amount of columns returned)
Obviously the task I employ has an FK built in, but I dont want it to show in the final query; along with a generic Total column.
So in this scenario I have my pivot results in a table (DB..Tbl), now I just want to join selected fields from that back to the main results table (MainResultsTbl)
Main SP to do the donkey work
ALTER PROCEDURE sp_RemFldsFromSelect @Tbl as nvarchar(600), @QueryR varchar(max) OUTPUT, @ResCol as varchar(3) = NULL, @Alias as varchar(10) = NULL, @Cl1 as nvarchar(100) = NULL, @Cl2 as nvarchar(100) = NULL, @Cl3 as nvarchar(100) = NULL, @Cl4 as nvarchar(100) = NULL, @Cl5 as nvarchar(100) = NULL

Examples:
EXEC DB..sp_RemFldsFromSelect DB1..Tbl', @Cols OUTPUT :returns all column names to the var @Cols in the 'calling' process
EXEC DB..sp_RemFldsFromSelect 'DB1..Tbl', @Cols OUTPUT , NULL ,'B','Syr' :returns all columns apart from Syr with an alias of B(ie B.TblID) to local var @out
EXEC DB..sp_RemFldsFromSelect 'DB..Tbl', @Cols OUTPUT, Col ,B, 'MOP_SysCustRef','TTL_Cnt' :returns all column names apart from MOP_SYSCustRef and TTL_CNt
EXEC DB..sp_RemFldsFromSelect '[DB]..Tbl', @Cols OUTPUT , 'Res' ,'Syr' :returns a select statement for all columns apart from Syr
