I have a table with the following fields:

Code Varhar(7)
EXIST1 Float
EXIST2 Float
Exist3 Float
Exist4 Float
...
Exist9 Float

I WANT UPDATE FIELDS BY USING A LOOP.
SOMETHING LIKE:

WHILE N<=9
UPDATE MYtABLE SET EXIST+'N'= EXIST+'N' + nnn.nn
N=N+1
LOOP

How can I Concatenate EXIST and 'N' so that I can have
the name of fields?

You should consider normalize your table. It will make such things much easier to handle.

Other wise, you might need complex case when statement to handle the updating logic.

Another alternative is to use Dynamic SQL. But that does not look pretty also.

declare @Arm int
declare @Result float
set @arm=1
Declare @cmd as varchar(2000)
set @cmd = 'DECLARE RegCur CURSOR for Select exist'+cast(@arm as nvarchar(1)) +' from tb201 where codigo='''+@code +''''
EXEC (@cmd)
OPEN RegCur;
