Hi,

I have a stored proc called MyProc1

CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[MyProc1] 
	@var1 char(2), 
	@var2	smallint,
	@var3 datetime,
	@var4  OUTPUT 
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE	@STR int
' Code comes here to calculate var4 and STR
RETURN @STR
END

Problem :

I want to call MyProc1 within another proc called 'CallTheProc' and receive the value @STR

I have written so far :

declare @Id char
EXEC MyProc1 'AV',23, getdate(), @Id OUTPUT
print @Id

However I get an error 'Incorrect syntax near ')'. I do not get any values. I know I am using @Id as char whereas it needs to be int. But I want to receive the value as a char.

How can I do so?

Thanks.

Try calling

declare @Id varchar(10), @date datetime
set @date=getdate()
EXEC MyProc1 'AV',23, @date, @Id OUTPUT
print @Id

And since @str is returned as a resultset (yes! with one column and one row) insert it into a table variable.

declare @s table (i int), @Id varchar(10), @date datetime
set @date=getdate()

insert @s
EXEC MyProc1 'AV',23, @date, @Id OUTPUT
print @Id
select * from @s
