sp_who and sp_who2 Blocking processes

From
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2234691/sql-server-filter-output-of-sp-who2 and
http://sqlserverplanet.com/dba/a-better-sp_who2-using-dmvs-sp_who3

With sp_who and sp_who2 we can determine what process is blocking a table for example. We can use the following script to filter out the sp_who2 output:

DECLARE @Table TABLE(
        SPID INT,
        Status VARCHAR(MAX),
        LOGIN VARCHAR(MAX),
        HostName VARCHAR(MAX),
        BlkBy VARCHAR(MAX),
        DBName VARCHAR(MAX),
        Command VARCHAR(MAX),
        CPUTime INT,
        DiskIO INT,
        LastBatch VARCHAR(MAX),
        ProgramName VARCHAR(MAX),
        SPID_1 INT,
        REQUESTID INT
)

INSERT INTO @Table EXEC sp_who2

SELECT  *
FROM    @Table
WHERE ....

Another way is to use a custom sp_who3 sp for this:

CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_who3] 

AS
BEGIN

SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL READ UNCOMMITTED

SELECT
    SPID                = er.session_id

    ,SQLStatement       =
        SUBSTRING
        (
            qt.text,
            er.statement_start_offset/2,
            (CASE WHEN er.statement_end_offset = -1
                THEN LEN(CONVERT(nvarchar(MAX), qt.text)) * 2
                ELSE er.statement_end_offset
                END - er.statement_start_offset)/2
        )        
    ,STATUS             = ses.STATUS
    ,[Login]            = ses.login_name
    ,Host               = ses.host_name
    ,DBName             = DB_Name(er.database_id)
    ,LastWaitType       = er.last_wait_type
    ,StartTime          = er.start_time
    ,Protocol           = con.net_transport
    ,transaction_isolation =
        CASE ses.transaction_isolation_level

        END
