    I am modifying a script that creates Jobs, is it possible to achieving the following;

    @command=N'Some Command' + @ANOTHER_VARIABLE

    I need to tag the contents of another variable to then end of one being set.

    Can anyone explain how i could achieve this, my real life example is

    @command=N'Exec dbo.pReport_Update_Unit ''E:\MyData\Target\CSV''',

    I need the Path including single quotes to be passed in by a variable set further up the script, i expected my script to work or look something like below;

    e.g.

    DECLARE @variable varchar(100)

    SET @variable = ''E:\MyData\Target\CSV''

    @command=N'Exec dbo.pReport_Update_Unit '+@variable,

    DECLARE @variable varchar(100), @command VARCHAR(500)

    SET @variable = 'E:\MyData\Target\CSV'

    SET @command = N'Exec dbo.pReport_Update_Unit ''' + @variable + ''''

    SELECT @command
