Oracle built-in types

How can I define a variable of specific data type in sql server like I do in Oracle

   Declare 
         var emp.empno%type;
         rec emp%rowtype;

in oracle when I define var emp.empno%type then the oracle engine convert the data type of
var to be the same data type of field emp.empno
and when I define rec emp%rowtype the it convert the data type of rec to row data type
and this row contain all the fields of the table emp

I will be thankful for your help.

You can't do that with SQL Server.
You can try to use user defined types, but that doesn't help much, as you can't modify the types after creating some objects using them.
