Question : Top Percent with varable

I have the following query in a stored procedure:

insert into @tblTopTenPct
Select DLID = t1.DLID, Qty = t1.Qty, Base = t1.Base, xMonth = t1.xMonth, Issue = 'Old type'
FROM (SELECT TOP 10 Percent * FROM @DLList) AS t1
Where Datediff(mm,Base,GetDate()) > (@EldestCrit * 12)

Works fine. But now the users want to be able to change the percent at runtime
FROM (SELECT TOP 10 Percent * FROM @DLList) AS t1
My understanding is in Sql Server 2005 I can replace 10 percent with a varible @pct
But Im using Sql Server 2000.
I was trying to use dynamic sql but run in the problem with using variable tables. My thougt was to take the X percent a store it in a seperate table within my procedure and just select * in my from statement above.
Any Ideas...

Answer : Top Percent with varable

Missed the ORDER BY clause it should be:

Set @SomeMaxValue = @@ROWCOUNT * @YourPercent / 100

Select *                               -- Replace * with your column names
From @YourTempTable
Where ID Between 1 And @SomeMaxValue
Order By ID

This way you avoid the whole dynamic SQL mess.
