Invalid object name in stored procedure

-- In SQL Server 2000
--When run from Query Analyzer I correctly get identification of line
numbers having duplicate values of SKU_NameUsedBySCS:
-- LineNumber1 LineNumber2
-- 2 5
-- but when I try to create a stored procedure having this same code I get:
-- Invalid object name '#x'.
IF not EXISTS (SELECT name FROM sysobjects WHERE name = 'PermTable' )
begin
create table PermTable (scs_id int, sku_nameusedbyscs nvarchar(40))
insert into PermTable VALUES (11, 'name23')
insert into PermTable VALUES (11, 'name81')
insert into PermTable VALUES (11, 'name27')
insert into PermTable VALUES (11, 'name88')
insert into PermTable VALUES (11, 'name81')
end
declare @.SCS_ID int
set @.SCS_ID =11
set nocount on
select identity(int,1,1) as Sequence, scs_id,sku_nameusedbyscs into #x from
PermTable WHERE SCS_ID =@.SCS_ID
go
select top 40 min(Sequence) as LineNumber1, max(Sequence) as LineNumber2
from #x GROUP BY SKU_NameUsedBySCS having count(*) > 1
drop table #x
gohello steve, did you check previous error messages? is you database Case
Sensitive? If it is, then the select into statement must have the names of
your fields in lower case.
hope this helps.

And where do you create the temporary table #x?

created at runtime. So when you try to compile the code to get an
execution plan the query optimiser cannot create a plan involving #x
because it doesn't yet exist.
Try creating the temp table explicitly in the proc and then inserting
into it with a normal INSERT statement (rather than SELECT ... INTO).

If you have simply created the stored procedure by wrapping the SQL below in
a create procedure call then you have a GO in the middle of the declaration.
This will terminate the declaration.
Query Analyser will then try to run the later commands as immediate
commands. As the table is created by the SELECT ... INTO inside the
definition it will not find it for the later SELECT statement.
Try removing the GO statement in the middle of the declaration if there is
one.
As a separate point I would recommend using a Table variable (you know the
structure you want) as the scope is much better defined.
I hope this helps

Try this:
create procedure sp_abc as
IF not EXISTS (SELECT name FROM sysobjects WHERE name = 'PermTable' )
begin
create table PermTable (scs_id int, sku_nameusedbyscs nvarchar(40))
insert into PermTable VALUES (11, 'name23')
insert into PermTable VALUES (11, 'name81')
insert into PermTable VALUES (11, 'name27')
insert into PermTable VALUES (11, 'name88')
insert into PermTable VALUES (11, 'name81')
end
declare @.SCS_ID int
set @.SCS_ID =11
set nocount on
select identity(int,1,1) as Sequence, scs_id,sku_nameusedbyscs into #x
from
PermTable WHERE SCS_ID =@.SCS_ID
-- ############## MySQLServer ############ --go
select top 40 min(Sequence) as LineNumber1, max(Sequence) as
LineNumber2
from #x GROUP BY SKU_NameUsedBySCS having count(*) > 1
drop table #x
go
