The first parameter of my stored procedure, usp_LogMessage_Begin, accepts a varchar field as the name of the calling routine. I would like to use the Object_NAME function to return this name as so:
EXEC @LogMessageId = usp_LogMessage_Begin OBJECT_NAME(@@PROCID), 'Begin deleting all records in CBH_REBATBL...'
But I get this error:
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Procedure usp_BFAncl01_Reset, Line 22
Incorrect syntax near 'OBJECT_NAME'.
This will work:
declare @SPName varchar(512) = OBJECT_NAME(@@PROCID)
EXEC @LogMessageId = usp_LogMessage_Begin @SPName, 'Begin deleting all records in CBH_REBATBL...'
but I would rather not create a temporary variable. Does T-SQL not support this type of in-place function evaluation?
No it doesn’t support this.
There is a connect item request to upvote for this here: T-SQL: use scalar functions as stored procedure parameters
