Hi dear,
I want to assign the variable @myVar an input to my stored procedure parameter @myParam. But I want to do that my cursor code:

declare @myVar as..
fetch next from crsMyTblParams into @DBparam
while @@fetch_status=0 begin

EXEC sys.sp_helprotect @username=@myVar
fetch next from crsMyTblParams into @DBparam
end
close crsMyTblParams
deallocate crsMyTblParams

But that gives me an error

2/ another question pls: how can I use the same thing for a varibale like this:
declare @myDB
...cursor code
use @myDB....rest of cursor code
...end of cursor code

Is that possible , thank you

1. Not sure what you are trying to do here. Should the fetch use @myVar instead of @DBParam?
2. You can't use a use statement in an sp unless it's in dynamic sql

exec ('use ' + @myDB + ' exec ... select ...')

You will probably find this easier if you don't try to use a cursor. Create a temp table with the values you want and an identity and loop through it.

==========================================
Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.
