What's the correct syntax to feed two TOP values into 2 variables?

Like so:

DECLARE @Var1 CHAR(10),@Var2 SMALLMONEY
SELECT @Var1 = TOP 1 Code, @Var2 = PaymentAmount FROM TableName WHERE RowID = 100

SELECT TOP 1 @Var1 = Code, @Var2 = PaymentAmount
FROM TableName
WHERE RowID = 100

Perhaps you want MAX instead of TOP though. Could you show us a data example?

Thanks!

No, I want TOP, not MAX. Like, return the first row matching x, not necessarily the latest or the greatest.

How do you define RowID?
