Answer 1

You can't declare variables in a view. Could you make it into a function or stored procedure?

Edit - you might also be able to put something into a CTE and keep it as a view.

e.g.

with conditions as 
(
 ... do the STUFF here
)
select blah
from blah
inner join conditions
(or cross join conditions if its just one row, I can't quite decipher what your data is like)
