Variable As Table Name In T-SQL

I cannot seem to pass a table name to an sp as a variable without having to construct the sql string first.

i.e i want to do this...

CREATE Procedure dbo.proc_sectranssummary
@tblname nvarchar (30)
AS
/************************************************** ******************/
CREATE TABLE @tblname (
Heading nvarchar (100),
Count_BatchID integer,
Sum_Units float,
Sum_AccruedIntDays integer
)
etc.

BUT it wont work and can only do it this way...


CREATE Procedure dbo.proc_sectranssummary
@tblname nvarchar (30)
AS
/************************************************** ********************/
DECLARE @sql nvarchar (2000)

SELECT @sql =

'CREATE TABLE ' + @tblname + '
(
Heading nvarchar (100),
Count_BatchID integer,
Sum_Units float,
Sum_AccruedIntDays integer
)'
EXEC(@sql)

etc.

but this makes it difficult when going on to use the table later on in INSERTS etc in the same sp.

pls Help!!
