Abe writes "how can I use the date in sql? See the fifth line below after select' ,
when I excute this "sql @thisSQL" it does not take it as date, but it use it as numeric expression.
so how we can solve this case :
SET @thisSQL = '
SELECT ' + here I need to put the date variable (My Question) + ' as todate ,
fx_MenuSalesPeriod.STR_NBR as store,
fx_MenuSalesPeriod.ACCT_NBR as item ,
fx_MenuSalesPeriod.DESCRIPTION as Description,
fx_MenuSalesPeriod.SalesAmt as amt,
fx_MenuSalesPeriod.Qty as sold,
fx_MenuItemCost.TotalCost as foodPerfect,
fx_MenuItemCost.TotalCost * fx_MenuSalesPeriod.Qty AS TotalFoodPerfect ,
case when salesamt > 0 then cast(COALESCE(( fx_MenuItemCost.TotalCost * fx_MenuSalesPeriod.Qty /fx_MenuSalesPeriod.SalesAmt ) * 100,0) as decimal(12,2) ) else 0 end as Costper ,
cast( COALESCE((fx_MenuSalesPeriod.SalesAmt / ' + convert(varchar(12),@StoreSales) + ' ) * 100 ,0) as decimal(12,2)) as totalper
FROM dbo.fx_MenuItemCost(' + @Store + ') fx_MenuItemCost INNER JOIN
dbo.fx_MenuSalesPeriod(' + @FromDate + ',' + @ToDate + ',' + @Store + ') fx_MenuSalesPeriod ON fx_MenuItemCost.ACCT_NBR = fx_MenuSalesPeriod.ACCT_NBR
order by totalper desc '"

Something like this:

SET @thisSQL = '
SELECT ''' + convert(varchar(20, @dtvar) + ''' as todate ,
fx_MenuSalesPeriod.STR_NBR as store,
fx_MenuSalesPeriod.ACCT_NBR as item ,
fx_MenuSalesPeriod.DESCRIPTION as Description, 
fx_MenuSalesPeriod.SalesAmt as amt, 
fx_MenuSalesPeriod.Qty as sold,
fx_MenuItemCost.TotalCost as foodPerfect,
fx_MenuItemCost.TotalCost * fx_MenuSalesPeriod.Qty AS TotalFoodPerfect ,
case when salesamt > 0 then cast(COALESCE(( fx_MenuItemCost.TotalCost * fx_MenuSalesPeriod.Qty /fx_MenuSalesPeriod.SalesAmt ) * 100,0) as decimal(12,2) ) else 0 end as Costper ,
cast( COALESCE((fx_MenuSalesPeriod.SalesAmt / ' + convert(varchar(12),@StoreSales) + ' ) * 100 ,0) as decimal(12,2)) as totalper 
FROM dbo.fx_MenuItemCost(' + @Store + ') fx_MenuItemCost INNER JOIN
dbo.fx_MenuSalesPeriod(' + @FromDate + ',' + @ToDate + ',' + @Store + ') fx_MenuSalesPeriod ON fx_MenuItemCost.ACCT_NBR = fx_MenuSalesPeriod.ACCT_NBR 
order by totalper desc'
