    I modified the query to

    Declare @query nvarchar(max)

    set @query = dbo.ufn_GetHcmDesignFields(3, 31418)

    Declare @query2 nvarchar(max)

    EXEC sp_executesql N'@query','@query2 nvarchar(max) output',@query2 output

    select @query2 as Test

    I get the same error

    Can you post the code for function dbo.ufn_GetHcmDesignFields, please? This process could easily be a maintenance nightmare. Let's get that out of the way.
