am not sure what do you mean by "defined previously", but you can view the actual code by doing a sp_helptext mystoredproc in a query analyzer. it will display the entire code UNLESS THE PROGRAMMER EXPLICITLY DEFINED AN ENCRYPTED CODE DURING CREATION OF THE SP.

try

select * from sysobjects where xtype = 'P'

it will list all user stored proc. since it will be created by dbo and someone can login as dbo, you can not really tell if he created it....i think....

to view the code, you can still use sp_helptext. unless during creation of stored proc, it was specifically stated that it's encrypted
