Thanks for the info Seth...

Managed to get it to work by slightly changing the 'sysjobs' join only. 🙂

Failing code was:

left outer join msdb.dbo.sysjobs j

on substring(p.program_name,32,32) = substring(master.dbo.fn_varbintohexstr(j.job_id),3,100)

I reversed the order of p.program_name & fn_varbintohexstr & edited so to compare the WHOLE hex string instead of excluding '0x'. Problem: fn_varbintohexstr was returning NULL & i was trying to get a substring of that = error.

FIX:

left outer join msdb.dbo.sysjobs j

on master.dbo.fn_varbintohexstr(j.job_id) = substring(p.program_name,30,34)

FINAL WORKING CODE:

-- NOTE: dts_name will ONLY return a value 'IF' DTSRUN used with dtsname.

SELECT

p.SPID,

Blocked_By = p.Blocked,

p.Status,

p.LogiName,

p.HostName,

p.program_name,

job_name = coalesce(j.[name], ''),

jobstep_id = coalesce(js.[step_id], ''),

jobstep_name = coalesce(js.[step_name], ''),

js.[command],

dts_name = coalesce(d.[name], ''),

DBName = db_name(p.dbid),

Command = p.cmd,

CPUTime = p.cpu,

DiskIO = p.physical_io,

LastBatch = p.Last_Batch,

-- LastQuery = coalesce( (select * from ::fn_get_sql(p.sql_handle)), '' ), -- SQL Server 2000 ? FAILS
