Why? Please don't say "for performance reasons" until you've actually tested it. I tested all of the solutions offered so far and there's virtually no difference. Try it yourself. Here's a million row test table...
Sorry Jeff, I wasn't suggesting them for performance reasons, just other ways of doing it. I found the method the OP put up originally difficult to decipher at first glance.

Ah. Got it. Thanks for the feedback.

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.
