I am creating a recursive stored procedure. I need get the value returned from the stored procedure. I cannot find a way to do this. This is what I have tried so far. My stored procedure only takes one parameter.

DECLARE @TEMP int
SET @TEMP = EXEC Count_Stock_At_Location 1

---Will not run do to incorrect syntax---

Does anyone know how to get scalar value back from EXEC Stored_Procedure?

Is the stored procedure returning the value as an OUTPUT parameter, via the RETURN, or in a result set?

You should lookup the correct syntax for an EXECUTE statement in SQL Server Books Online.

either use OUTPUT parameter approach suggested by Tara or just return value as a resultset and use OPENROWSET to return it like below

SELECT @TEMP = returnfield
FROM OPENROWSET(...,'EXEC Count_Stock_At_Location 1')

for getting the other settings of OPENROWSET refer books online or
