Hi,
I am using sql server 2005,In that we have one stored procedure A to call stored procedure B, which returns a set of records from a table. Then, I want stored procedure A to perform work on these records. How do I call stored procedure B from within stored procedure A?
Thanks in advance.

Sorry do not understand your question ... why not reverse the calling order of your 2 procedures. That is call procedure "B" first to insert the data into either a temporary table or a table variable and then operate on that data with procedure "A".

If you follow the example given by clicking on the first link in my signature block you will most likely receive the assistance you are requesting.

If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.

Sorry for the uncleared question.Here I will Call stored procedure 'B' from 'A' by passing one parameter.Based on the parameter value ,the Stored procedure B will retrun data multiple rows to A.

amalanto in that case you have to create a table which will capture the results inside the stored procedure; so you need to know the structure and datatypes returned;something like this:

create procedure myproc

as

begin

create table #tmp(tmpid int, columnlist.....)

insert into #tmp(tmpid,columnlist.....)

EXEC myotherProc

--do more stuff to the contents of #tmp

end

Thank you sir.

Right now We have achieved by calling UDF.I want to know whether is it poassible through stored procedure.

Create Function dbo.Result(@TranId int)

Returns @t Table(@col1 varchar(10),@col2 Datetime)

Begin

Insert into @t select Status,Date from TransHistory where Transactionid=@TranId

return

end

end

not enough info; your function above returns a table of values based on a single Transactionid;

we need to know what the "outer" procedure is doing to help you; is it calling this function multiple times?

if it is, you should remove the function and do a JOIN in the "outer" procedure instead. you never want to use a function to get similar data multiple times.

Thanks in advance.

I think you can use this logic and try this works as the same way you asked B to A

in the below Eg only one output has been given in your case you can use your records in the OUTPUT.

USE AdventureWorks;

GO

IF OBJECT_ID ( 'Production.usp_GetList', 'P' ) IS NOT NULL

DROP PROCEDURE Production.usp_GetList;

GO

CREATE PROCEDURE Production.usp_GetList @product varchar(40)

, @maxprice money

, @compareprice money OUTPUT

, @listprice money OUT

AS

SELECT p.name AS Product, p.ListPrice AS 'List Price'

FROM Production.Product p

JOIN Production.ProductSubcategory s

ON p.ProductSubcategoryID = s.ProductSubcategoryID

WHERE s.name LIKE @product AND p.ListPrice < @maxprice;

-- Populate the output variable @listprice.

SET @listprice = (SELECT MAX(p.ListPrice)

FROM Production.Product p

JOIN Production.ProductSubcategory s

ON p.ProductSubcategoryID = s.ProductSubcategoryID

WHERE s.name LIKE @product AND p.ListPrice < @maxprice);

-- Populate the output variable @compareprice.

SET @compareprice = @maxprice;

GO

DECLARE @compareprice money, @cost money

EXECUTE Production.usp_GetList '%Bikes%', 700,

@compareprice OUT,

@cost OUTPUT

IF @cost <= @compareprice

BEGIN

PRINT 'These products can be purchased for less than

$'+RTRIM(CAST(@compareprice AS varchar(20)))+'.'

END

ELSE

PRINT 'The prices for all products in this category exceed

$'+ RTRIM(CAST(@compareprice AS varchar(20)))+'.'

Thanks
