This is a snipbit of the entire project. What I'm trying to do is select @Begin execute @Begin and then put those results of the While loop into the #While_Loop temptable but I keep coming up with nothing being put into the Temp or just the string that @begin getting put into the Temp. Essentially I just need help with the Syntax of the 'Insert into' section

Declare @TTWhile varchar(30)
If @ProgID <> 0 Select @TTwhile = '#temp_prog_course_list_GR'
If @ConcID <> 0 Select @TTWhile = '#temp_prog_course_list_UG'


declare @Begin nvarchar(max)


Select @Begin = '
declare @ctr int, @max int, @Coursecode varchar(25), @Coursecode2 varchar(50), @courseCodeList varchar(max), @CourseCodeList2 varchar(max)
set @ctr = 1


Select @max = max(RecordID) From ' + @TTWhile + '


While @ctr <= @max
Begin

Select @CourseCode = ltrim(rtrim(courseCode))
From ' + @TTwhile + ' where RecordID = @ctr

Select @courseCodeList = coalesce(@courseCodeList + '','' + @CourseCode, @CourseCode)


Select @CourseCode2 = '' max(''+ltrim(rtrim(courseCode))+'') as [''+ltrim(rtrim(courseCode))+'']''
From '+ @TTwhile + ' where RecordID = @ctr

Select @courseCodeList2 = coalesce(@courseCodeList2 + '','' + @courseCode2, @courseCode2)

Select @ctr = @ctr + 1
End'



exec (@begin)


Create Table #While_Loop
(cc1 nvarchar(max),
cc2 nvarchar(max))


Insert into #While_Loop --select (cc1, cc2)
From @begin


Declare @cc1 varchar(max), @cc2 varchar(max)
select @cc1 = (Select cc1 From #While_Loop)
select @cc2 = (Select cc2 From #While_Loop)

What I have tried:

select * into

Insert into ... exec

etc...

As much as I dislike just throwing code out there.
Insert into #While_Loop (@courseCodeList, @courseCodeList2)

You execute the varchar @begin as a sql script, so the variables you create inside it exist in the environment you ran it from. They are availible on their own after it is run, not as part of some micro-environment referenced by the varchar's name.

You should probably refactor that whole @begin business into a stored procedure that return the 2 variables you are interested in as output parameters.
