@local variable (newbie)

I am trying to run a query.

Declare ColNames_Csr Cursor
-- Open Cursor that contains all column names
for
Select Column_Name from Information_Schema.columns where Table_Name = @.TableName

Open ColNames_csr

Fetch Next From ColNames_csr into @.FieldName

While ...

Begin
.
.
.
Select @.FieldValue = (Select @.FieldName from Contacts)
Print @.FieldValue
.
.
.
end

@.SomeValue always returns the FieldName (EMail) not @.FieldName (name@.somewhere.com).

I am trying to roll through all the columns and see what the value is for @.fieldname

What am i missing?

Thanks

Query below returns value of @.FieldName - no field in table. Think about dynamic query ...

(Select @.FieldName from Contacts)|||Dynamic Query? Im not sure I understand.

@.FieldName = 'Name'

Select @.FieldValue = (Select @.FieldName from Contacts where contactid = 32)

Print @.FieldValue

Always Prinst "Name"

How do I get the data in Contacts.@.FieldName?

Thanks

Dynamic query is something like this:

create table test(id int, code varchar(10))
go
insert test values(1,'A')
insert test values(2,'B')
insert test values(3,'C')
go
create proc retvalue(@.sql varchar(8000),@.result varchar(50) output)
as
declare @.res varchar(50)
create table #tmp(res varchar(50))
insert #tmp exec(@.sql)
select @.result=res from #tmp
return
go
declare @.res varchar(50),@.sql varchar(8000),@.field varchar(50)
set @.field='code'
set @.sql='select '+@.field+' from test'
exec retvalue @.sql,@.res output
select @.res
