I have a stored procedure that needs to run multiple times. I am confused on what to actually do.

I am getting this error:
The variable name '@Test' has already been declared. Variable names must be unique within a query batch or stored procedure.


My code looks like this... I dont want to run this 100 times, and instead want to run it on one script.

DECLARE @TEST as VARCHAR(30)
SET @TEST = '234'

INSERT INTO TABLE1(A, B)
SELECT TOP 1 @TEST, max(CAT) FROM  TABLE2 where 1=1;


--------------------------------------------
DECLARE @TEST as VARCHAR(30)
SET @TEST = '123'

INSERT INTO TABLE1(A, B)
SELECT TOP 1 @TEST, max(CAT) FROM  TABLE2 where 1=1;

You can do one or the other of the following
------------ OPTION 1 ----------------
DECLARE @TEST as VARCHAR(30)
SET @TEST = '234'

INSERT INTO TABLE1(A, B)
SELECT TOP 1 @TEST, max(CAT) FROM  TABLE2 where 1=1;

GO
--------------------------------------------
DECLARE @TEST as VARCHAR(30)
SET @TEST = '123'

INSERT INTO TABLE1(A, B)
SELECT TOP 1 @TEST, max(CAT) FROM  TABLE2 where 1=1;


------------ OPTION 2 ----------------

DECLARE @TEST as VARCHAR(30)
SET @TEST = '234'

INSERT INTO TABLE1(A, B)
SELECT TOP 1 @TEST, max(CAT) FROM  TABLE2 where 1=1;


--------------------------------------------
--DECLARE @TEST as VARCHAR(30)
SET @TEST = '123'

INSERT INTO TABLE1(A, B)
SELECT TOP 1 @TEST, max(CAT) FROM  TABLE2 where 1=1;

the TOP 1 is redundant in selects as you're already applying max.

it should be

DECLARE @TEST as VARCHAR(30)
SET @TEST = '234'

INSERT INTO TABLE1(A, B)
SELECT @TEST, max(CAT) FROM  TABLE2 where 1=1;


--------------------------------------------

SET @TEST = '123'

INSERT INTO TABLE1(A, B)
SELECT @TEST, max(CAT) FROM  TABLE2 where 1=1;


you can also dispense with trivial where condition 1=1
