Hello All,
I have a query like
SELECT TOP(1) Basic_Pay*60/100
from Table2

and i have to use it in SP and want to get the resultant value in a variable
so I made it like
Declare @output as varchar(2100)
SELECT @output = TOP(1) Basic_Pay*60/100 from Table2

But this query is giving me error.
Can any one tell me that how to use the above query???
