View the results in a view or table valued function

Question

I have a query which compares two requests and displayes yes/no based on comparing each column returned in the select query. How do i change this to be able to retreive the same results in a view or a table valued function. I get the results when i use the SQL to create a Stored procedure but our Business objects application is unable to execute the SQL

Below is my SQL

DECLARE @Foo TABLE (requestid int,
receiveddate datetime,
neededby datetime,busneed varchar(1000) ,
rptcomments varchar(1000),
reportfrequency varchar(100),
defineschedule varchar(250),
schedulebasedon varchar(250) ,
clmsrvdtfrom datetime,
clmsrvdtthru datetime ,
clmpddtfrom datetime,
clmpddtthru datetime
)

INSERT @Foo (requestid,receiveddate,neededby,busneed,rptcomments,reportfrequency,defineschedule,schedulebasedon,clmsrvdtfrom,clmsrvdtthru,clmpddtfrom,clmpddtthru)
select requestid,receiveddate,neededby,busneed,rptcomments,reportfrequency,defineschedule,schedulebasedon,clmsrvdtfrom,clmsrvdtthru,clmpddtfrom,clmpddtthru
from report_request where requestid = 1494
INSERT @Foo (requestid,receiveddate,neededby,busneed,rptcomments,reportfrequency,defineschedule,schedulebasedon,clmsrvdtfrom,clmsrvdtthru,clmpddtfrom,clmpddtthru)
select requestid,receiveddate,neededby,busneed,rptcomments,reportfrequency,defineschedule,schedulebasedon,clmsrvdtfrom,clmsrvdtthru,clmpddtfrom,clmpddtthru
from report_request where requestid = 1495

what about this:

CREATE VIEW _test
AS

CAST(reportfrequency AS VARCHAR(MAX)) AS reportfrequency,
CAST(defineschedule AS VARCHAR(MAX)) AS defineschedule,
CAST(schedulebasedon AS VARCHAR(MAX)) AS schedulebasedon,
CAST(clmsrvdtfrom AS VARCHAR(MAX)) AS clmsrvdtfrom,
CAST(clmsrvdtthru AS VARCHAR(MAX)) AS clmsrvdtthru,
CAST(clmpddtfrom AS VARCHAR(MAX)) AS clmpddtfrom,
CAST(clmpddtthru AS VARCHAR(MAX)) AS clmpddtthru
