Please could somebody fix the following for me. (Just imagine that the while loop is Perl code) 

DECLARE @Counter_temp INT-- I'm not convinced that this line is requir
+ed

SET @Counter_temp = 1-- I'm not convinced that this line is required

While @Counter_temp <= (SELECT MAX(Key_m) FROM Time_definition_SPLIT) 
+begin  -- I'm not convinced that this line is required



        SELECT Time_ref, Time_instance, Geo_class, Aggregated_area, Su
+per_classed_disease_cat, Cause, Constraint_ref, Sex, Sex_code, Age_st
+art, Age_end, Age_range, Sum_count = SUM(G.Converted_person_count)
    INTO #tmp_G_P_M_CC
    FROM Geo_postaggregated_mortality_count_with_cause_catagory_SPLIT 
+G, Time_definition_SPLIT T
    WHERE T.Key_m = @Counter_temp AND G.Time_instance = T.Instance_tag
    GROUP BY G.Time_ref, G.Time_instance, G.Geo_class, G.Aggregated_ar
+ea, G.Super_classed_disease_cat, G.Cause, G.Constraint_ref, G.Sex, G.
+Sex_code, G.Age_start, G.Age_end, G.Age_range

    SET @Counter_temp = @Counter_temp + 1


end

I think that the reason this does not work is because I am using a #tmp file. Is there a quick way around this?
