Question

ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.updateadmin
(
     @ReportRead char(10),
     @Date date,@EmpName varchar(50),
     @Subject nchar(50)
)
AS
    insert into Emp_ReportUpdate (ReportRead,[Date],EmpName,Subject)
    values(@ReportRead,@Date,@EmpName,@Subject)
    RETURN

This is my procedure and in @EmpName I need to use as a select statement so that to get data from another table and get it in @EmpN. Also if any one has a shorter method do guide me.

Answer 1

 ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.updateadmin
 (
     @ReportRead char(10), @Date date, @EmpName varchar(50), @Subject nchar(50)
 )  AS
 SELECT @EmpName = somecol FROM OTHERTABLE

 insert into Emp_ReportUpdate
 (ReportRead, [Date], EmpName, Subject)
 VALUES 
 (@ReportRead, @Date, @EmpName, @Subject)

 RETURN
