[riyap]

hi can anyone let me know how to get a output param value from stored procedure
i used following code to get the o/p value from stored procedure
so near .value what i need to give
if keep it blank it is giving me error
for input we can give a value but not for output
what i need to write near "?????"

sqlComm = New OracleCommand

sqlComm.Parameters.Add(New OracleParameter("p_title", OracleType.VarChar)).Value = title
sqlComm.Parameters.Item("p_title").Direction = ParameterDirection.Input
sqlComm.Parameters.Add(New OracleParameter("pid", OracleType.VarChar)).Value = "???????"
sqlComm.Parameters.Item("pid").Direction = ParameterDirection.Output
thanks in advance

I don't understand what you mean. You're just creating new parameters at this point, so how could it have any output value?
