Maintaining variable values

[RickBen]

I have written a stored proc to write order details to the db. If there is additional description text, I am writting it out to another note table. i initially performed this using EXEC with another stored proc. When doing this, upon returning to my VB.Net app, the @Ordt_Id, @PDT_ProductSKU, and the @Pdt_ProdDesc variables no longer contain any data. I moved the note creation code into this stored proc, but I get the same results. If there is no note record created then the values are fine. How can i fix this?

CREATE Procedure usp_IMDetails_InsertTempDtl
@Orht_Id int,
@Pdt_id int,
@Ordt_UOM varchar(10),
@Ordt_UnitsOrdered decimal(9,2),
@Ordt_Cost decimal(9,2),
@Ordt_Price decimal(9,2),
@Ordt_DiscountPct decimal(9,2),
@Ordt_DiscountAmt decimal(9,2),
@Ordt_ExtendedAmt decimal(9,2),
@Ordt_AddDescText varchar(50),
@CreatedBy varchar(50),
@Ordt_Id int output,
@Pdt_ProductSKU varchar(25) output,
@Pdt_ProdDesc varchar(60) output
