Sql 2000 database role

Question

Hi ,
I want to grant execute permission to all SP's in SQL 2000  database, when I tried to create a db_execprocs role it is throwing an error near ROLE, and when I googled  I have found a script as 
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.spGrantExectoAllStoredProcs @user ABC\venkat
AS
-- Object Name: spGrantExectoAllStoredProcs
-- Author: Edgewood Solutions
-- Development Date: 03.19.2007
-- Called By: TBD
-- Description: Issue GRANT EXEC statement for all stored procedures 
-- based on the user name that is passed in to this stored procedure
-- Project: SQL Server Security
-- Database: User defined databases 
-- Business Process: SQL Server Security
-- Num | CRF ID | Date Modified | Developer | Description
-- 001  | N\A     | 03.15.2007    | Edgewood | Original code for the GRANT 
-- EXEC process
SET NOCOUNT ON
-- 1 - Variable declarations
DECLARE @CMD1 varchar(8000)
DECLARE @MAXOID int
DECLARE @OwnerName varchar(128)
DECLARE @ObjectName varchar(128)
-- 2 - Create temporary table
CREATE TABLE #StoredProcedures
(OID int IDENTITY (1,1),
StoredProcOwner varchar(128) NOT NULL,
StoredProcName varchar(128) NOT NULL)
-- 3 - Populate temporary table
INSERT INTO #StoredProcedures (StoredProcOwner, StoredProcName)
SELECT u.[Name], o.[Name]
FROM dbo.sysobjects o
INNER JOIN dbo.sysusers u
ON o.uid = u.uid
WHERE o.Type = 'P'
AND o.[Name] NOT LIKE 'dt_%'
-- 4 - Capture the @MAXOID value
SELECT @MAXOID = MAX(OID) FROM #StoredProcedures
-- 5 - WHILE loop
WHILE @MAXOID > 0
BEGIN 
 -- 6 - Initialize the variables
 SELECT @OwnerName = StoredProcOwner,
 @ObjectName = StoredProcName
 FROM #StoredProcedures
 WHERE OID = @MAXOID
 -- 7 - Build the string
 SELECT @CMD1 = 'GRANT EXEC ON ' + '[' + @OwnerName + ']' + '.' 
 + '[' + @ObjectName + ']' + ' TO ' + '[' + ABC\venkat + ']'
 -- 8 - Execute the string
 -- SELECT @CMD1
 EXEC(@CMD1)
-- 9 - Decrement @MAXOID
SET @MAXOID = @MAXOID - 1
END
-- 10 - Drop the temporary table
DROP TABLE #StoredProcedures
SET NOCOUNT OFF
GO
this too is throwin an error as:
Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Procedure spGrantExectoAllStoredProcs, Line 1
Line 1: Incorrect syntax near '\'.
Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Procedure spGrantExectoAllStoredProcs, Line 52
Line 52: Incorrect syntax near '\'.
Can someone help me with this.
I just need to grant execute permission on all SP's  to 1 database only.
Thanks.

First create the procedure and then call the procedure with parameter.
Try this 
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.spGrantExectoAllStoredProcs @user varchar(20)
AS
-- Object Name: spGrantExectoAllStoredProcs
-- Author: Edgewood Solutions
-- Development Date: 03.19.2007
-- Called By: TBD
-- Description: Issue GRANT EXEC statement for all stored procedures
-- based on the user name that is passed in to this stored procedure
-- Project: SQL Server Security
-- Database: User defined databases
-- Business Process: SQL Server Security
-- Num | CRF ID | Date Modified | Developer | Description
-- 001 | N\A | 03.15.2007 | Edgewood | Original code for the GRANT
-- EXEC process
SET NOCOUNT ON
-- 1 - Variable declarations
DECLARE @CMD1 varchar(8000)
DECLARE @MAXOID int
DECLARE @OwnerName varchar(128)
DECLARE @ObjectName varchar(128)
-- 2 - Create temporary table
CREATE TABLE #StoredProcedures
(OID int IDENTITY (1,1),
StoredProcOwner varchar(128) NOT NULL,
StoredProcName varchar(128) NOT NULL)
-- 3 - Populate temporary table
INSERT INTO #StoredProcedures (StoredProcOwner, StoredProcName)
SELECT u.[Name], o.[Name]
FROM dbo.sysobjects o
INNER JOIN dbo.sysusers u
ON o.uid = u.uid
WHERE o.Type = 'P'
AND o.[Name] NOT LIKE 'dt_%'
-- 4 - Capture the @MAXOID value
SELECT @MAXOID = MAX(OID) FROM #StoredProcedures
-- 5 - WHILE loop
WHILE @MAXOID > 0
BEGIN
-- 6 - Initialize the variables
SELECT @OwnerName = StoredProcOwner,
@ObjectName = StoredProcName
FROM #StoredProcedures
WHERE OID = @MAXOID
-- 7 - Build the string
SELECT @CMD1 = 'GRANT EXEC ON ' + '[' + @OwnerName + ']' + '.'
+ '[' + @ObjectName + ']' + ' TO ' + '[' + @user + ']'
-- 8 - Execute the string
-- SELECT @CMD1
EXEC(@CMD1)
-- 9 - Decrement @MAXOID
SET @MAXOID = @MAXOID - 1
END
-- 10 - Drop the temporary table
DROP TABLE #StoredProcedures
SET NOCOUNT OFF
GO
dbo.spGrantExectoAllStoredProcs 'abc\venkat'
OR
directly execute the below script
Change the @user parameter with valid account
DECLARE @User Varchar(20)
DECLARE @CMD1 varchar(8000)
DECLARE @MAXOID int
DECLARE @OwnerName varchar(128)
DECLARE @ObjectName varchar(128)
SET @user='abc\venkat'
-- 2 - Create temporary table
CREATE TABLE #StoredProcedures
(OID int IDENTITY (1,1),
StoredProcOwner varchar(128) NOT NULL,
StoredProcName varchar(128) NOT NULL)
-- 3 - Populate temporary table
INSERT INTO #StoredProcedures (StoredProcOwner, StoredProcName)
SELECT u.[Name], o.[Name]
FROM dbo.sysobjects o
INNER JOIN dbo.sysusers u
ON o.uid = u.uid
WHERE o.Type = 'P'
AND o.[Name] NOT LIKE 'dt_%'
-- 4 - Capture the @MAXOID value
SELECT @MAXOID = MAX(OID) FROM #StoredProcedures
-- 5 - WHILE loop
WHILE @MAXOID > 0
BEGIN
-- 6 - Initialize the variables
SELECT @OwnerName = StoredProcOwner,
@ObjectName = StoredProcName
FROM #StoredProcedures
WHERE OID = @MAXOID
-- 7 - Build the string
SELECT @CMD1 = 'GRANT EXEC ON ' + '[' + @OwnerName + ']' + '.'

EXEC(@CMD1)

END
-- 10 - Drop the temporary table
DROP TABLE #StoredProcedures
