i have a query like this

select @res = select top(1) (CONVERT(varchar(30), eventid, 113))+''+ '@'+''+ convert(varchar(30),AUDIT.Auditstamp,113) from audit
where AUDIT.pkgid = 9288283
and AUDIT.audittype = 7
and queueid <> -1
order by AUDIT.auditstamp desc

The output of this query is

31@23 Aug 2010 18:58:38:307

Now i need to separate the result

as getting the value before @ into one variable
and after the @ value into another variable

Please help me out!!

Thanks,
reacha

[code]select top 1 @res = (CONVERT(varchar(30), eventid, 113)),
@otherVar = convert(varchar(30),AUDIT.Auditstamp,113)
from audit
where AUDIT.pkgid = 9288283
and AUDIT.audittype = 7
and queueid <> -1
order by
AUDIT.auditstamp desc
[/code]

actually, don't need to convert 'em since no need to concatenate this way

Select @AuditstampQueueEntered = select top(1)(AUDIT.auditstamp),
@QueueEventID= (dbo.AUDIT.eventid )
from audit
where AUDIT.pkgid = @pkgid
and AUDIT.audittype = 7
and queueid <> -1
order by AUDIT.auditstamp desc)

I am getting the error message as
Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Procedure msp_EventIDAuditStampQueueEntered, Line 15
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'select'.
Msg 141, Level 15, State 1, Procedure msp_EventIDAuditStampQueueEntered, Line 15
A SELECT statement that assigns a value to a variable must not be combined with data-retrieval operations.
