I hope I am reading your question right. You want to execute a stored procedure with output value inside another stored procedure ?

CREATE PROCEDURE procA

DECLARE @percent INT

EXEC procb '1', 'A', @pc = @percent OUTPUT

SELECT @percent

Unless they are set based procs... "Death by SQL"... the idea of code reuse to process single records will absolutely kill performance and make more maintanence nightmares than you can shake a stick at.

--Jeff Moden

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

Have you thought of using functions in your stored procedures ? I've done this before with no apparent performance hit, and it makes debugging easier.
