I have a stored procedure that takes a number of inputs, does a bulk
insert, and then outputs a recordset. When I run the stored procedure in
Server Management Studio I also get a return value from the stored
procedure which is an INT.
I want to access this return value on my ASP/VBScript page, but do not
know how to access it.
Here is my code so far:
<%
Dim rsImport
Dim rsImport_cmd
Dim rsImport_numRows
Set rsImport_cmd = Server.CreateObject ("ADODB.Command")
rsImport_cmd.ActiveConnection = MM_aclv4test_STRING
rsImport_cmd.CommandText = "{call dbo.PriceUpdateImport(?,?,?,?,?)}"
rsImport_cmd.Prepared = true
rsImport_cmd.Parameters.Append
rsImport_cmd.Parameters.Append rsImport_cmd.CreateParameter("param1",
200, 1, 255, rsImport__vendor)
rsImport_cmd.Parameters.Append rsImport_cmd.CreateParameter("param2",
200, 1, 255, rsImport__name)
rsImport_cmd.Parameters.Append rsImport_cmd.CreateParameter("param3",
200, 1, 255, rsImport__filename)
rsImport_cmd.Parameters.Append rsImport_cmd.CreateParameter("param4",
200, 1, 255, rsImport__validfrom)
rsImport_cmd.Parameters.Append rsImport_cmd.CreateParameter("param5",
200, 1, 255, rsImport__user)
Set rsImport = rsImport_cmd.Execute
rsImport_numRows = 0
%>
There is more code above that sets the variable for each parameter.
I have tried adding this: rsImport_cmd.CreateParameter("@RETURN_VALUE",
3, 4) but I got this error:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80040e21'
Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB
status value, if available. No work was done.
My stored procedure doesn't declare an output return value, which may be
the problem, but when I execute the stored procedure in server
management studio I am given a return value.
Any ideas or pointers?
Cheers,
Steve

The return parameter should be the first one you append. You will

No. A peculiarity of SQL Server is that it will not send output or
return parameters until all resultsets generated by the procedure have
been consumed by the caller. This is done for you behind the scenes in
Query Manager. In ADO code, you have to do this yourself. You have to
either navigate to the last record in the recordset, or close the
recordset, before attempting to read the output or return parameter
values. Switching to a client-side cursor guarantees that the current
resultset is consumed.
Moreover, you need to make sure the procedure is not generating any
unexpected resultsets. Another peculiarity of SQL Server is that it
sends those "x rows were affected" messages to the caller as closed
resultsets. If your ADO code does not handle them, you will never see
the output or return parameters. So, your standard practice should be to
suppress those messages by including the line "SET NOCOUNT ON" at the
beginning of your procedure.

Aha, the missing piece of the pie, that will explain it.

Thats something I have always let Server Studio Manager do for me each
time I create an SP... I didn't know what it was to begin with, so
Googled it and realised how important it was.
Thanks for the advice, I will let you know how I get on.

I knew that and was willing to live with it. After all, I created it for my
own use and I use IE at work. You are certainly free to rewrite it to make
it browser-independent.

No thanks, I can live with using IE now and then :)

I have decided to change my tactics, as I needed the return parameter
before the recordset.
The stored procedure does a bulk insert into a temporary table, does
some checks on the data. If there are duplicates it returns an error
code and a recordset with the duplicate data.
If there are no duplicates but other errors it will output different
error numbers.
If there are no errors, a success number is returned and the data is
inserted into a permanent table and its details inserted into a job
table, with its ID returned.
My ASP needs to check the error number and display a message. If the
duplicates are found it needs to list them. I need the error message
before the recordset.
I need to change my stored procedure to return 3 recordsets:
1. Error number
2. ID of import job if it was successful
3. Recordset of duplicates
Am I thinking this the right way?

inserted into a permanent table and its details inserted into a job
table, with its ID returned.
I'm not clear here: if there are multiple records involved, why would there
necessarily be a single ID returned?
Just re-read this...
There are 3 tables
#Import - for the initial bulk insert from a tab separated file
PriceUpdateJob - the main details of the import, with an auto-id, name
of job, date of job, active from date, username, and various other bit
checks to indicate progress throughout the import process
PriceUpdateImportData - for the actual data from the initial file, with
the job id and item id being primary keys.
Not sure if that makes much difference :)

Hi Bob,
I have changed my SP so that it doesn't specify an output parameter, I
am going to rely on the return value instead, if thats possible.
Throughout my SP I have RETURN 50001 to stop the SP and give the error
number. Right at the end, if everything has been successful I use RETURN
@import (which is the I job ID)
In SSMS I always get a recordset, even if its empty, and always get a
return value.
The return value is either 50000, 50001, 50002 or the ID of the job. I
may have to change the error numbers to something bigger, or do as you
suggest and have an output parameter.
I have also changed my code as per your instructions:
<%
Dim rsImport
Dim rsImport_cmd
Dim rsImport_numRows
Set conn = CreateObject ("ADODB.Connection")
conn.open MM_aclv4test_STRING
Set rsImport_cmd = CreateObject ("ADODB.Command")
Set rsImport_cmd.ActiveConnection = conn
rsImport_cmd.CommandText = "PriceUpdateImport"
rsImport_cmd.CommandType = 4 'adCmdStoredProc
rsImport_cmd.Parameters.Append rsImport_cmd.CreateParameter("param1",
200, 1, 255, rsImport__vendor) ' adVarChar
rsImport_cmd.Parameters.Append rsImport_cmd.CreateParameter("param2",
200, 1, 255, rsImport__name) ' adVarChar
rsImport_cmd.Parameters.Append rsImport_cmd.CreateParameter("param3",
200, 1, 255, rsImport__filename) ' adVarChar
rsImport_cmd.Parameters.Append rsImport_cmd.CreateParameter("param4",
200, 1, 255, rsImport__validfrom) ' adVarChar
rsImport_cmd.Parameters.Append rsImport_cmd.CreateParameter("param5",
200, 1, 255, rsImport__user) ' adVarChar
Set rsImport = rsImport_cmd.Execute
If NOT rsImport.EOF Then
ardata = rsImport.GetRows
End if
rsImport.Close
errcode = rsImport_cmd(0)
conn.close
Set conn = Nothing
%>
When there are duplicates I can loop through the array of data and see
the duplicates, but I never get the correct errcode. I always get the
value of the first parameter. I have tried adding the @RETURN_VALUE
parameter but always get an error about there being too many arguments.
Am I making an obvious mistake?
Cheers,
Steve

The 0 refers to the first item in the Parameters collection. Right now,
that is the rsImport__vendor parameter. You need to append the
RETURN_VALUE parameter first!

I was missing the 2 from the end
rsImport_cmd.Parameters.Append
rsImport_cmd.CreateParameter("@RETURN_VALUE", 3, 4,2)
It now does return the correct error number AND the successfully
inserted ID.

Use the code generator! Just substitute your variable names for the
names I used in the generator.
