I tried doing the sample with create procedure as @ but that didn't work.
SQL said that there were no statements...

Does SQL allow for low-level file output to an .SQL script which it can then execute?

The other problem that I ran into was that you had to declare the variable you would be using in the SQL statement to initiate the process, which in this case would be of a TEXT data type. These apparently are not supported for variable declarations and wouldn't work... You would still be set to a VARCHAR of 255.

Any ideas???
