it's not obvious where the alias goes;

here's two examples:

SELECT POPRCTNM,

STUFF((SELECT ','+ CAST(ACTINDX AS varchar)

FROM POP30390 a

WHERE a.POPRCTNM = d1.POPRCTNM

GROUP BY a.ACTINDX

FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE).value('.','VARCHAR(max)'), 1, 1, '')

AS AliasForStuff

FROM POP30390 d1

SELECT POPRCTNM,

AliasForStuff = STUFF((SELECT ','+ CAST(ACTINDX AS varchar)

FROM POP30390 a

WHERE a.POPRCTNM = d1.POPRCTNM

GROUP BY a.ACTINDX

FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE).value('.','VARCHAR(max)'), 1, 1, '')

FROM POP30390 d1
