title: Variables in Stored Procedures
body: <p>This is a general question related to MS SQL Server.</p>
  
  <p>I want to use a variable internal to my stored procedure. All the variables I declare allow for user input. Is there a way to create a variable that is not exposed to a 'User'? I know I can make a variable optional. </p>
  
  <p>Thank you</p>
