Okay, how about posting the actual query? We have zero information on what you mean when you say you are "not able execute the query". Does an error message appear? Did a resultset get generated, even if it had 0 records in it? Just knowing you used OPENQUERY doesn't really tell us anything that we can use to help you. After all, we can't see your screen, or know anything whatsoever about what your query is supposed to do, or even why you need those variables, as you haven't given us those details. Please be specific and spell out exactly what you have for a query, exactly what it is supposed to do, and what the variables are there for, and as much other info as you have.

Have you at least looked at what is in Books Online (aka BOL)? It's the help within SQL Server Management Studio (aka SSMS)

You'll need to use dynamic SQL to build the open query command and then execute the dynamic SQL.

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.
"Change is inevitable... change for the better is not".

You'll need to use dynamic SQL to build the open query command and then execute the dynamic SQL.

The reason for this is that variables you declare outside that query are not valid or known about in the execution of it. They exist only in the batch to the point of it being at least possible to append them in some fashion to the query string sent to OPENQUERY, and in the apprpriate portion of that query. In other words, variables that you declare in your batch prior to the use of OPENQUERY, don't exist inside the execution of what you are sending to the other server.
