Make it a dynamic query.

SQL

declare @mysql varchar(max)
declare @topCount varchar(4)
set @topCount='5'
set @mysql='select top ' + @topCount + '* from TABLE_NAME'

exec(@mysql)

You can't do it directly:

SQL

declare @Tot_10 int

DECLARE @myCommand NVARCHAR(1024)
SET @myCommand = 'select Top ' + CAST(@Tot_10 AS NVARCHAR) + 'FPG from Incentive_0_3_BD order by FPG'
EXECUTE (@myCommand)
