AFAIK, SQL Server doesn't support prompting for variables.
The way you would do it in Query Analyzer would be like this
Code:
DECLARE @EmpName varchar(30)
DECLARE @EmpNum int

Set @EmpName = 'Bob Smith'
Set @EmpNum = 12

INSERT INTO emp(EmpName, EmpNum) VALUES(@EmpName,@EmpNum)

You would just change the values in the "SET" statements.
