Hello,

I created a procedure which returns either 0 or 1.
When I run it I don't get anything in the Results Tab in MS SQL Server Management Studio.

Why?
How can I see what the result is?

Thanks,
Miguel

My Procedure:

-- Begin of procedure code
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[by27_Levels_LevelExists]

-- Define the procedure parameters
@LevelName NVARCHAR(100)

AS
BEGIN

-- Allows @@ROWCOUNT and the return of number of records when ExecuteNonQuery is used
SET NOCOUNT OFF;

-- Check if LevelId is Not Null
IF (EXISTS (SELECT LevelName FROM dbo.by27_Levels WHERE LOWER(@LevelName) = LOWER(LevelName)))
Return (1)
ELSE
Return (0)

END

You would see the return if you execute the stored procedure like this:

DECLARE @rc tinyint
EXEC @rc = by27_Levels_LevelExists 'LevelNameValue'
PRINT @rc

I'd suggest using OUTPUT parameters instead of RETURN values though.
