does sp_xml_concat work

Hi All,
I am trying to get the sp_xml_concat
(http://www.awprofessional.com/artic...02307&seqNum=16)
to work will no luck. Here is the errors I am getting:
Server: Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Line 1

Server: Msg 6607, Level 16, State 3, Procedure sp_xml_removedocument,
Line 26
sp_xml_removedocument: The value supplied for parameter number 1 is

Can anyone get this bloody thing to work?
Thanks in advance
WoodyHi
There seems to be a missing space before nvarchar(4000).
Try
USE master
GO
IF OBJECT_ID('sp_xml_concat','P') IS NOT NULL
DROP PROC sp_xml_concat
GO
CREATE PROC sp_xml_concat
@.hdl int OUT,
@.table sysname,
@.column sysname
AS
EXEC('
SET TEXTSIZE 4000
DECLARE
@.cnt int,
@.c nvarchar(4000)
DECLARE
@.declare varchar(8000),
@.assign varchar(8000),
@.concat varchar(8000)
SELECT @.c = CONVERT(nvarchar(4000),'+@.column+') FROM '+@.table+'
SELECT @.declare = ''DECLARE'',
@.concat = '''',
@.assign = '''',
@.cnt = 0
WHILE (LEN(@.c) > 0) BEGIN
SELECT @.declare = @.declare + '' @.c''+CAST(@.cnt as nvarchar(15))
+'' nvarchar(4000),'',
@.assign = @.assign + ''SELECT @.c''+CONVERT(nvarchar(15),@.cnt)
+''= SUBSTRING(' + @.column+',''+ CONVERT(nvarchar(15),
1+@.cnt*4000)+ '', 4000) FROM '+@.table+' '',
@.concat = @.concat + ''+@.c''+CONVERT(nvarchar(15),@.cnt)
SET @.cnt = @.cnt+1
SELECT @.c = CONVERT(nvarchar(4000),SUBSTRING('+@.colu
mn+',
1+@.cnt*4000,4000)) FROM '+@.table+'
END
IF (@.cnt = 0) SET @.declare = ''''
ELSE SET @.declare = SUBSTRING(@.declare,1,LEN(@.declare)-1)
SET @.concat = @.concat + ''+''
EXEC(@.declare+'' ''+@.assign+'' ''+
''EXEC(
''''DECLARE @.hdl_doc int
EXEC sp_xml_preparedocument @.hdl_doc OUT, ''+@.concat+''
DECLARE hdlcursor CURSOR GLOBAL FOR SELECT @.hdl_doc AS
DocHandle'''')''
)
')
OPEN hdlcursor
FETCH hdlcursor INTO @.hdl
DEALLOCATE hdlcursor
GO
