Must declare the scalar variable "@DATADIR".
I am using SQL2012.
You shouldn't concatenate inside EXEC like that. Instead, try this (most importantly, it lets you debug your statement before executing it):
DECLARE @datadir VARCHAR(128) = 'C:\SQL2012\SH_DATA';
DECLARE @sql NVARCHAR(MAX) = N'BULK INSERT dbo.CHANNELS FROM '''
+ @DATADIR + '\CHANNELS.txt'' WITH ...;';
PRINT @sql;
-- EXEC sp_executesql @sql;
Also, you need to execute all three of these statements together. You can't execute the declares, then execute the remainder independently, which it seems like you did above.
