Hi You can pass comma separated value like 6040100 to your single parameter then in your sp you can call one UDF to split this value Here is the UDF for splitting comma separated value CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[udf_SplitCsvToTable](@sText varchar(8000) @sDelim varchar(20) = ' ') RETURNS @retArray TABLE (idx smallint Primary Key value varchar(8000)) AS BEGIN DECLARE @idx smallint @value varchar(8000) @bcontinue bit @iStrike smallint @iDelimlength tinyint IF @sDelim = 'Space' BEGIN SET @sDelim = ' ' END SET @idx = 0 SET @sText = LTrim(RTrim(@sText)) SET @iDelimlength = DATALENGTH(@sDelim) SET @bcontinue = 1 IF NOT ((@iDelimlength = 0) or (@sDelim = 'Empty')) BEGIN WHILE @bcontinue = 1 BEGIN --If you can find the delimiter in the text retrieve the first element and --insert it with its index into the return table. IF CHARINDEX(@sDelim @sText)>0 BEGIN SET @value = SUBSTRING(@sText1 CHARINDEX(@sDelim@sText)-1) BEGIN INSERT @retArray (idx value) VALUES (@idx @value) END --Trim the element and its delimiter from the front of the string. --Increment the index and loop. SET @iStrike = DATALENGTH(@value) + @iDelimlength SET @idx = @idx + 1 SET @sText = LTrim(Right(@sTextDATALENGTH(@sText) - @iStrike)) END ELSE BEGIN --If you can't find the delimiter in the text @sText is the last value in --@retArray. SET @value = @sText BEGIN INSERT @retArray (idx value) VALUES (@idx @value) END --Exit the WHILE loop. SET @bcontinue = 0 END END END ELSE BEGIN WHILE @bcontinue=1 BEGIN --If the delimiter is an empty string check for remaining text --instead of a delimiter. Insert the first character into the --retArray table. Trim the character from the front of the string. --Increment the index and loop. IF DATALENGTH(@sText)>1 BEGIN SET @value = SUBSTRING(@sText11) BEGIN INSERT @retArray (idx value) VALUES (@idx @value) END SET @idx = @idx+1 SET @sText = SUBSTRING(@sText2DATALENGTH(@sText)-1) END ELSE BEGIN --One character remains. --Insert the character and exit the WHILE loop. INSERT @retArray (idx value) VALUES (@idx @sText) SET @bcontinue = 0 END END END RETURN END GO Regards Iftikar
