Author  Topic  srad Starting Member 39 Posts Posted - 2001-08-16 : 07:01:57 I have written an sp (sp1)that receives a varchar as an input parameter and executes another sp (sp2)passing that parameter. When i exec sp1 i have to pass the input parameter in parenthesis otherwise i get the following error... Server: Msg 207, Level 16, State 3, Line 3 Invalid Column Name AB1234567CD Nothing too unusual about this but because sp2 also receives this parameter as a varchar i expected to have to enclose the input parameter in parenthesis i.e. char(39) + AB1234567CD + char(39) within sp1's code. But SQL treats this as ''AB1234567CD'' and returns incorrect results. Any Ideas??
