ANSI compliant, without cursor

PRINT ('1.a. Delete stored procedures ' + CONVERT( VARCHAR(19), GETDATE(), 121));
GO
DECLARE @procedure NVARCHAR(max)
DECLARE @n CHAR(1)
SET @n = CHAR(10)
SELECT @procedure = isnull( @procedure + @n, '' ) +
'DROP PROCEDURE [' + schema_name(schema_id) + '].[' + name + ']'
FROM sys.procedures

EXEC sp_executesql @procedure
PRINT ('1.b. Stored procedures deleted ' + CONVERT( VARCHAR(19), GETDATE(), 121));
GO
