Create Stored Prodedure - Help

Below is a cut from a script that is gen'd by SQLSVR 7 that should create a SQL 
STORED PROCEDURE.
When I try  run it either in STRSQL or by RUNSQLSTM I get errors stating it 
does like the SELECT token.
If I add LANGUAGE SQL before the SELECT it complains about the LANGAUGE token.

I can't find a simple example to follow. Would someone be so kind as to fix the 
statement below??? Please??



CREATE PROCEDURE  SP_ACTIVITY_TYPE
(@CREATE_DATE DATE, @UPDATE_DATE DATE)
SELECT DISTINCT ACTIVITYTYPE_ID, DESCRIP, CREDITCRDINDICATOR_ID, 
OVERRIDECREDITCOMPANY_ID,
OVERRIDECREDITLOCATION_ID, OVERRIDECREDITDEPARTMENT, DEBITCRDINDICATOR_ID,
OVERRIDEDEBITCOMPANY_ID, OVERRIDEDEBITLOCATION_ID, OVERRIDEDEBITDEPARTMENT,
ACCTCREDITDOLLAR, ACCTCREDITVOLUME, ACCTDEBITDOLLAR, ACCTDEBITVOLUME,
DISPLAYNAME, @CREATE_DATE, @UPDATE_DATE
FROM COPYLMS.ACTIVITYTYPE )
