IF (@FirstLetters IS NOT NULL)
BEGIN
SET @FirstLetter = 'SELECT SplitValue FROM dbo.FnSplitString('+@FirstLetters+','',''))'
print @FirstLetter
END

SELECT
P.PUB_ID AS ''PubId'',
P.PUB_TITLE AS ''PubTitle''

FROM HDS_PUBLICATION P
INNER JOIN HN_IM_JOIN IM
ON IM.PUB_UNID = P.PUB_UNID,
HDS_CUSTOM C,
WD_PUBLIC_SHELF S,
HDS_TOPIC T
WHERE P.PUB_UNID = C.PUB_UNID AND C.CUSTOM3 = ''False''
AND P.PUB_ID = S.PUB_ID
AND P.PUB_UNID = T.PUB_UNID
AND S.Audience = ''Public''

What does the spli function return? They normally return a table (note they are not used in v2005 usually as you have cte's).

It looks like you are trying to use dynamic sql but not creating the string. Anyway your quotes are not bvery close to being correct.
try

SELECT
P.PUB_ID AS ''PubId'',
P.PUB_TITLE AS ''PubTitle''

FROM HDS_PUBLICATION P
INNER JOIN HN_IM_JOIN IM
ON IM.PUB_UNID = P.PUB_UNID,
HDS_CUSTOM C,
WD_PUBLIC_SHELF S,
HDS_TOPIC T
WHERE P.PUB_UNID = C.PUB_UNID AND C.CUSTOM3 = ''False''
AND P.PUB_ID = S.PUB_ID
AND P.PUB_UNID = T.PUB_UNID
AND S.Audience = 'Public'
--' + @FilterByLang + ' -- what is this?
AND left(P.PUB_TITLE,1) in (SELECT SplitValue FROM dbo.FnSplitString(@FirstLetters,'','')

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