OpenEdge Data Management: DataServer for Microsoft SQL Server

Run Stored-Procedure details
• “Run Stored-Proc statement execution with the LOAD-RESULT-INTO phrase”
section on page 129.
• “Run Stored-Proc statement execution using the send-sql-statement option”
section on page 129.
The following sections describe the syntax elements and options in detail. This section
also presents examples that describe typical situations in which you might use the
various options that the RUN STORED-PROC statement supports.
Run Stored-Procedure statement
The RUN STORED-PROC statement runs a RDBMS stored procedure or allows you to
send Transact-SQL to a MS SQL Server based data source using an OpenEdge
DataServer. It contains a procedure-name which is either the:
• Name of the RDBMS stored procedure that you want to run
• OpenEdge built-in procedure name, send–sql–statement, to send
Transact-SQL to a MS SQL Server based data source
Note: If your ABL procedure is in a transaction block when a RUN
STORED–PROCEDURE statement is executed, the RDBMS stored procedure
runs within the same RDBMS transaction, even if your stored procedure
declares its own transaction levels.
LOAD-RESULT-INTO phrase
The LOAD-RESULT-INTO function loads the result sets into a temp-table which is
represented by a handle variable. Note that handle can also be defined as extent to
enable you to pass more than one temp-table handle in those instances where SQL
statement(s) are defined to return more than one result set.
When used with the RUN STORED-PROC statement or stored procedure to load result
sets into temp-tables, this function carries an implicit CLOSE-STORED PROCEDURE
statement.
Note: The compiler issues an error at runtime if the variable of type handle with the
LOAD-RESULT-INTO function does not point to a temp-table.
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 141.
When used with the LOAD-RESULT-INTO phrase, the temp-table handle identifies the
temp-table to which the result set will be loaded.
You can specify an array of one or more temp-table handle elements to retrieve stored
procedure result sets and have the DataServer load the result set data directly into the
associated temp-table(s). This approach allows you to have direct ABL access to the
fields defined in the temp-table.
