Using sp_spaceused

Hi There, I figured out…
by creating my own procedure:
(I used the sp_usedspace as template)

Hi there,
when I try to fill the results into a temporary table, it gives an error:
Column name or number of supplied values does not match table definition.

my code:
DECLARE @tempTable TABLE (
database_name nvarchar(128),
database_size varchar(18),
[unallocated space] varchar(18),
reserved varchar(18),
data varchar(18),
index_size varchar(18),
unused varchar(18)
)

INSERT @tempTable
exec SP_SPACEUSED

how can I catch the results from sp_spaceused
