for this kind of query u need to write the dynamic sql..
declare @sqlserver varchar
set @sqlserver='ABCDEFG'

Exec ('SELECT b.[originating_server],b.[name],a.step_name,a.output_file_name,a.last_run_outcome,a.last_run_date, a.last_run_time
FROM ' +@sqlserver+'.msdb.dbo.sysjobsteps AS a INNER JOIN' + @sqlserver +'.msdb.dbo.sysjobs AS b
ON a.job_id = b.job_id')

Hope this works for u ..
