OpenEdge Data Management: DataServer for Microsoft SQL Server

RDBMS Stored Procedure Details
3–8
The following types of temp-tables can support result sets:
• Static — A temp-table whose schema is defined at compile time.
• Dynamic — A temp-table whose schema is defined at run time. There are two types of
dynamic temp-tables: dynamic-prepared and dynamic-unprepared.
For additional details about using the LOAD-RESULT-INTO phrase with the temp-table handle, see
the “Loading result sets into temp-tables” section on page 3–21.
PROC-STATUS phrase
The PROC-STATUS phase returns the return status from a MS SQL Server stored procedure. The
return status is an integer value that typically indicates whether a stored procedure succeeded
or failed; if a stored procedure fails, a code indicates why it failed. See your Microsoft SQL
Server documentation for descriptions of the possible values for the return status.
PROC-HANDLE phrase
The PROC-HANDLE phrase allows you to specify a handle to act as a unique identifier for a MS
SQL DataServer stored procedure. For example, the PROC-HANDLE assigns a value to the
specified integer field or variable (integer–field) that uniquely identifies the stored procedure
that is returning results from MS SQL Server.
Note these additional points about the PROC-HANDLE:
• Progress Software Corporation recommends that you specify a procedure handle for each
stored procedure that you run.
• You do not have to specify a handle if there is only one active stored procedure and you
do not include SQL statements in the OpenEdge application.
NO-ERROR option
The NO-ERROR option specifies that any ERROR condition that the RUN STORED–PROCEDURE
statement produces is suppressed. Before you close a stored procedure, check the ERROR–STATUS
handle for information on any errors that occurred. You receive an error when you attempt to
close a stored procedure that did not start.
Note: This option must appear before any runtime parameter list.
PARAM phrase
The Param phrase identifies a run-time parameter to be passed to the stored procedure. A
parameter has the following syntax:
Syntax
[( [INPUT|OUTPUT|INPUT-OUTPUT ] [ PARAM parameter-name = ] expression, ...
[INPUT|OUTPUT|INPUT-OUTPUT ][ PARAM parameter-name = ] expression )]
