GO keyword is a batch separator. SO usage in above case cause the batch to end. When you use variable again after it it becomes out of scope as variable has scope only inside batch it was created. Thats why you get the error

it should be this


DECLARE @CompanyNameTest AS VARCHAR(50)

SET @CompanyNameTest = 'Exact help' 
... other code using @CompanyNameText

Go
