Answer 1

You are missing about 3 opening brackets as far as i can tell at

select @cols2 = (Select Stuff((Select '],[ 

and

 (' + @cols2 + ']' // -> either [' + @cols2 + ']' or (' + @cols2 + ')'

and

 + ') SELECT ' + @cols2 + ']'  -- -> either ') SELECT [' + @cols2 + ']'  or ') SELECT (' + @cols2 + ')'
