Transformation problem

I figured it out. If anyone's interested, I got rid of the @account and
just put the value in directly SELECT '5136845659' + ...
and I added AS StringName at the end of the select statement.
I also had to change the field size for account, because at first it
was trying to put everything in 10 spaces. When I changed that it
worked fine.
