Wait a minute. You are in a relational database now, not in a C++ program.
I didn't ask why you returned a delimited string in the procedure in
your first post, but if you intend on unpack the string in the
calling procedure, you are on the wrong track altogther. Pass the
data in a table, and perform your operations on the whole set.

No, it's not. A batch of dynamic SQL is a scope of its own, and you
cannot access variables in outer scope. If you want to assign
variables @d1 to @d5, that's five SELECT statements.
