SQL Server Output Clause into a scalar variable

Question

Is there any \"simple\" way to do this or I need to pass by a table variable with the \"OUTPUT ... INTO\" syntax?

DECLARE @someInt int

INSERT INTO MyTable2(

Over a year later... if what you need is get the auto generated id of a table, you can just

SELECT @ReportOptionId = SCOPE_IDENTITY()

Otherwise, it seems like you are stuck with using a table.
