Hi ,

I need to do the following:
Given a certain variable for example  @var  I want to include the
contents of that variable as part of the name of a result column.

I'll try to explain myself a bit more with this example


        Set @var = 'October_' ;

        Select 

           Tot as 'Totals'  <-- Here I would like to include the                
                contents
of @var  
        From sales              So the resulting column name would be
                                'October_Totals'

The reason for this is because I don't know the value of @var which is
typed by the operator at the time the query is run.

Is there a way to concatenate the contens of a variable  and a column
alias at run time ?

thanks for your ideas
Mauricio
