I have created the following stored procedure:

USE Northwind
GO
CREATE PROC spCheckContact
@cst nchar(5),
@TitleName varchar(10) OUTPUT
AS
{remainder of my sproc; deleted to prevent plagiarism}

When I attempted to run it like this:

EXEC spCheckContact 'ALFKI'

I get this error:

Msg 201, Level 16, State 4, Procedure spCheckContact, Line 0
Procedure or function 'spCheckContact' expects parameter '@TitleName', which was not supplied.

But @TitleName is specified as an OUTPUT parameter! How can I fix this?

Try it.........

DECLARE @tit_name varchar(30)
EXEC spCheckContact 'ALFKI', @tit_name OUTPUT
PRINT @tit_name
