hi rama,
   
  Hope the followin sp will help you. But pls note that
string concatenation is not the very best thing to be done in sql. 

CREATE procedure spGetDeptCodeAsCommaValues
AS

set nocount on

declare @comma table (
        id int identity(1,1),
        code char(5)
)

insert into @comma(code) select DepartmentID from department

declare @rowid as int
declare @maxrows as int
declare @returnString as varchar(8000)
declare @lenString as int
declare @code as varchar(5)

select @maxrows = count(*) from @comma
set @rowid = 1
set @returnString = ''

while @rowid < @maxrows
begin
   
  select @code = code from @comma where id = @rowid
        
  set @returnString = @returnString + ',' + @code

  set @rowid = @rowid + 1      

end

set @lenString = len(@returnString)

if ( @lenString> 1)
    select right(@returnString,@lenString-1) as DeptCodes

RETURN
GO


HTH,
