Please can you help me fix this error message
declare @filename nvarchar (100)
declare @mysql nvarchar (500)
declare @PersonXML xml
declare @ParamDefinition nvarchar(max)

set @filename='C:\GoThruFiles\Person.xml'

set @mysql=N'select @PersonXML=
CONVERT(xml, BulkColumn, 2) FROM
OPENROWSET(Bulk '''+ @filename+''', SINGLE_BLOB) [rowsetresults]'

select @mysql
Set @ParamDefinition = '@filename nvarchar(max)'
Execute sp_Executesql @mySql, @ParamDefinition,@filename

I am getting an error message
Must declare the scalar variable "@PersonalXML".

I want to set the value of @PersonalXML to the content of the file 'C:\GoThruFiles\Person.xml'
