If I have an Execute SQL Task that executes a SQL Server 2005 proc, how can I force an Execute SQL Task to fail if an error occurs in the proc? The following is an example of a proc I'm working with:
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[ZipCodeTruncateLocationStagingTables]
(
@LocationDataCountOut Int = 1 OUT
)
AS
DECLARE @County2StagingCount int
DECLARE @CityStagingCount int
DECLARE @CityTypeCityStagingCount int
DECLARE @CityZipCodeStagingCount int
DECLARE @StateCountyCityZipWithCodesStagingCount int
DECLARE @ZipCodeStagingCount int
SET NOCOUNT ON
BEGIN TRY
TRUNCATE TABLE County2_Staging
SET @County2StagingCount = (SELECT COUNT(*) AS RecCount FROM dbo.County2_Staging)
TRUNCATE TABLE City_Staging
SET @CityStagingCount = (SELECT COUNT(*) AS RecCount FROM dbo.City_Staging)
TRUNCATE TABLE CityTypeCity_Staging
SET @CityTypeCityStagingCount = (SELECT COUNT(*) AS RecCount FROM dbo.CityTypeCity_Staging)
TRUNCATE TABLE CityZipCode_Staging
SET @CityZipCodeStagingCount = (SELECT COUNT(*) AS RecCount FROM dbo.CityZipCode_Staging)
TRUNCATE TABLE StateCountyCityZipWithCodes_Staging
SET @StateCountyCityZipWithCodesStagingCount = (SELECT COUNT(*) AS RecCount FROM dbo.StateCountyCityZipWithCodes_Staging)
TRUNCATE TABLE ZipCode_Staging
SET @ZipCodeStagingCount = (SELECT COUNT(*) AS RecCount FROM dbo.StateCountyCityZipWithCodes_Staging)
SET @LocationDataCountOut = @County2StagingCount + @CityStagingCount + @CityTypeCityStagingCount + @CityZipCodeStagingCount + @StateCountyCityZipWithCodesStagingCount + @ZipCodeStagingCount
SELECT @LocationDataCountOut AS LocationDataCountOut
END TRY
BEGIN CATCH
SELECT ERROR_NUMBER() ERNumber,
ERROR_SEVERITY() ErrorSeverity,
ERROR_STATE() ErrorState,
ERROR_PROCEDURE() ErrorProcedure,
ERROR_LINE() ErrorLine,
ERROR_MESSAGE() ErrorMessage
END CATCH
********************
In this proc, I can use @LocationDataCountOut in a package variable to work with in error handling, but what can I do if the proc goes into the catch block and returns an error record? If I do something like misspell the name of one of the truncated tables in the proc, the Execute SQL Task still succeeds after the task is executed.
Thank you for your help!

What about raising the error?

Use RAISERROR to throw the error:

RAISERROR ( { msg_id | msg_str | @local_variable }
{ ,severity ,state }
[ ,argument [ ,...n ] ] )
[ WITH option [ ,...n ] ]

I believe that you can return any value other than 0.
