Be aware that this is only an approximation. The difference is that the line would be compiled and executed as if it were a procedure. Any variables declared inside the procedure would disappear when it ends. In your case it means that unless X and Y already existed, they would not still not exist when this line is executed.

SET NIT_PICK ON
Pretty sure the CHR(10) piece is not needed
SET NIT_PICK OFF
