Can you declare a variable for the FROM?

Example:
=================
DECLARE @SrcTbl varchar(50)
set @SrcTbl = 'dbo.Test_31'

select col1, col2,col3
Into #tempTbl
From @SrcTbl

You need to use dynamic sql..but why?

Plus the temp table would be out of scope

I have a SQL script that needs to be ran for 31 different tables. the tables are identicial in structure, therefore I will run 1 script for all tables but I did not want to change the table name in 3 different places 31 times.
