Returning a string value from SP
-
hi folks, A SP in sql server is not returning a string variable as output variable ..can any1 let me know how to return a string variable from SP in sql server?A function returns a string variable whereas a SP doesnt return.y? for e.g I have created a SP create procedure SP_abc( @a INT @b out VARCHAR(10) ) as begin set @b = 'ABCD' end How to get the value of b in the front end?

Error 1 DO NOT PREFIX YOUR PROCEDURES WITH SP it forces the compiler to go through ALL the system procedures (sp) Having said that try changing out to output, the only thing I can see that may be a problem.

hi Try this
create procedure SP_abc(
@a INT,
@b VARCHAR(10) OUTPUT
)
as
begin
set @b = 'ABCD'
endHope it helps

That is unlikely to even compile. There is a missing comma between the second and third line.

How is this any different from the OP's SQL Code?

hi folks, Ill put my doubt clearly.Wht i sent earlier is a chat slang :)...Can u tell me whether it is possible to return a string value as output in the front end using a Stored Procedure? Ive created a stored procedure like this CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[StoredProcedure1] ( @a int, @b varchar(10) output ) AS BEGIN set @b = 'RE00001' --set @b = 20 --return @b END in LINQ ------- i call the sp like this DC1DataContext obj = new DC1DataContext(); string b = null; string c = obj.StoredProcedure1(1, ref b).ToString(); I face 2 issues 1.if I give return @b(thats y commented) then i get error since sp doesnt return a string 2.if i dont give return then in the code behind i get 0 as the value of c. can u let me know whether is it possible to return a string using SP? if so how?

in sql server any version up to 2000(havnt played with anything past that..yet) stored procedures, typically prefixed with usp_(user stored procedure), can only return INT values so that you can check if the work was completed or had problems. however if you need something else you can get it the same way you SELECT what you want from any other place in the database. it works very well in sql server, however it wont work in oracle to my knowledge.. if you dont like my first idea you can always try an output parameter.

hi man **balaji.t Wrote:**Can u tell me whether it is possible to return a string value as output in the front end using a Stored Procedure? Yes its Possible. In your Situation just look at some of my artcles i have done that. if you are using C#, just do the Following
/*Declare an output Parameter, The Dimenstion should be the same as the
one you have in your table.*/
cmdselect.Parameters.Add("@OutString", SqlDbType.VarChar, 10);cmdselect.Parameters["@OutRess"].Direction = ParameterDirection.Output;
//The Following line you are going to retrieve what has been returned.
con.Open(); //open connection cmdselect.ExecuteNonQuery(); //Execution of a Stored ProcedureRString = Convert.ToString(cmdselect.Parameters["@OutRess"].Value);
//accept a Geocode from the output variablecon.Close();//Closing the Connection/* Remember the Output Variable name in your Stored Procedure ,should be the same as the one you declare in C# code. */
Hope this Helps
