Hmmm...I had no idea this was possible. The concept completely slipped by me! I learned something new today. Thanks!

As for usefulness...I saw the potential as soon as I read this article. Too many times I've had to create separate procedures or functions just for the purpose of simplifing my code that are only relevant to the proc they run in due to hard-coded values, etc. Temp procedures will encapsulate that code within the procedure itself without adding another variation to maintain. I will be able to use this right now on some procedures I'm working on.
