global vars in script files ?

Is it possible to declare a global variable in a SQL script ... or some
workaround ?
[ContentDB].[dbo].[PageTypes].[ptId] IDENTITY(int, 1,1)
In the following script, the local var @.ptId is lost once a "GO" is
executed.
USE [ContentDB]
GO
INSERT INTO [dbo].[PageTypes]
([ptName]
,[ptPath]
,[ptParamName])
VALUES
('unused'
,'/redirect.aspx'
,'url')
DECLARE @.ptId int
SET @.ptId = @.@.IDENTITY
.
.
.
.
<lots and lots of other SQL>
.
.
.
.
GO
.
.
.
.
<lots and lots of other SQL>
.

.There are no global variables in TSQL. You can use a temp table for this, or
check out SET
CONTEXT_INFO.
