  Is there a way to set two variables with ONE select statement?

  Example:

  DECLARE @PartDescription varchar(36)

  DECLARE @UnitOfIssue varchar (4)

  DECLARE @ComponentPartNumber varchar(36)

  SET @ComponentPartNumber = '314-019'

  SET @PartDescription, @UnitOfIssue = (SELECT Description, UnitOfIssue FROM dbo.PartMaster WHERE PartNumber = @ComponentPartNumber)

  The above line does NOT work, but it is what I am basically trying to do.  I am trying to avoid two select statements.  Not really a big deal, but it would make it cleaner.  This is part of a stored procedure.

  Thanks,

  Jim Shipley

  Hello Jim,

  You can write it as follows:

  Select @PartDescription = Description, @UnitOfIssue = UnitOfIssue FROM dbo.PartMaster WHERE PartNumber = @ComponentPartNumber

  Thanks and have a nice day!!!
