You're welcome! It gave me a headache one day trying to debug an application, so I thought I'd post the question.
I've learned a great deal from this forum. It's amazing to me how even a simple question can generate a great discussion. That's why I keep coming back.

Given the number of inconsistencies and bugs, I'd be quite happy to see @@IDENTITY and SCOPE_IDENTITY removed from the product. I very much prefer the OUTPUT clause for this purpose.

Tough question. We can't really look in the minds of the developers who originally wrote the feature, so we can only speculate.
Very true
And frankly, I see little reason to do an INSERT with an IDENTITY, and then first do another INSERT before testing SCOPE_IDENTITY, ...
Yes, it is a strange thing to do in the first place.
Given the similarlty to @@IDENTITY pointed out elsewhere in this discussion, that might very well even be the originally intended behaviour.
Agreed, given that the documentation for @@IDENTITY is quite clear on this it's odd (at the very least) that it's not covered in the SCOPE_IDENTITY docs.
