Passing a subquery as a parameter to a user defined function

Try the following:
declare @.test varchar(50)
select * from dbo.CHARLIST_TO_TABLE_NUMERIC('(select projectid from
NS_REPORT_SAVE where savereportid = 8)',',')

e.g.'1,34,23' so it is expecting something in that format. That particular
subquery returns an appropriate value. Is the subquery seen as a table and
you can't pass a table to a subquery?

It is a bit like a split function. It works when I pass the string as a
variable. When I try to pass in the string variable as the result of a
subquery I get an error.
This works
declare @.test varchar(50)
set @.test = (select projectid from NS_REPORT_SAVE where savereportid = 8)
select * from dbo.CHARLIST_TO_TABLE_NUMERIC(@.test,',')
This doesn't
declare @.test varchar(50)
select * from dbo.CHARLIST_TO_TABLE_NUMERIC((select projectid from
NS_REPORT_SAVE where savereportid = 8),',')
I get
Server: Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Line 2
Line 2: Incorrect syntax near '('.
Server: Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Line 2
Line 2: Incorrect syntax near ','.|||Try the following:
declare @.test varchar(50)
select * from dbo.CHARLIST_TO_TABLE_NUMERIC('(select projectid from
NS_REPORT_SAVE where savereportid = 8)',',')
