Questionstored procedure for executing another proc generates error Pin

Dear All,



I am trying to put the code for generating an eXcel file using xp_cmdshell into a stored procedure for the purpose of calling it from code.

The code was given by a member of one of the forums sometime back.

USE northwind
EXEC master..xp_cmdshell 'bcp "select ''categoryname'',''description'' union all select categoryname,description from northwind.dbo.categories" queryout "d:\Shared\test1.xls" -c -S"172.16.121.203" -U"sa" -P""'

The above code works brilliantly.

I tried to put it into a stored procedure but getting various errors.The sp creation code is as below:

CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[SpWriteExcel]
AS
--create a variable @sql
--DECLARE @SQLStatement varchar(500)
DECLARE @SQLStatement1 varchar(500)

-- @SQLStatement = USE northwind

SELECT @SQLStatement1 = "EXEC master..xp_cmdshell 'bcp select ' 'categoryname' ' ,' 'description' ' union all select categoryname,description from northwind.dbo.categories queryout 'd:\Shared\test2.xls' -c -S\'172.16.121.203\' -U 'sa' -P' ''"

--Execute the SQL statement
--EXEC(@SQLStatement)
EXEC(@SQLStatement1)
GO


The error is with SELECT @SQLStatement1. So I tried to change it in various ways but did not get any success.

One of the ways I changed it to is as below:

SELECT @SQLStatement1 = " EXEC master..xp_cmdshell 'bcp "+"select categoryname,description union all select categoryname,description from northwind.dbo.categories"+" queryout "+ "d:\Shared\test3.xls"+" -c "+"-S"+"172.16.121.203"+"-U"+"sa"+" -P"+""+"'"


Could you pls write a proc for me which contains the above command and which takes the database name, table name and the excel file path as parameters.

Thanks for your help.
