Strange behaviour in wrapper script

  • We have a script to elevate a system user to Super Admin privilege, with a wrapper to elevate such a user to Company Super Admin.

    ALTER PROCEDURE [Common].[usp_ElevateUserToCompanySuperAdmin]
    @userId AS UNIQUEIDENTIFIER
    AS
    BEGIN;
    DECLARE @elevateUserToCompanySuperAdmin AS BIT = 1;
        
        --Execute elevate to super admin procedure forcing elevation to company super admin
        RETURN EXECUTE Common.usp_ElevateUserToSuperAdmin @userId = @userId, @elevateUserToCompanySuperAdmin = @elevateUserToCompanySuperAdmin;
    END;

    However, the script is failing to execute correctly; there is no error message but the UPDATE and INSERT statements inside the wrapped script are not executed.  If you run the wrapped script supplying the elevateUserToCompanySuperAdmin parameter directly, it runs properly.

    EXECUTE Common.usp_ElevateUserToSuperAdmin @userId = 'D9DF4399-1779-4195-F05A-08DCD3E72525' @elevateUserToCompanySuperAdmin = 1;

    Anyone have any ideas why this might be happening?

  • 'failing to execute correctly' is not detailed enough for people to help. Please elucidate … is there an error message?

  • Sorry, my bad.  I've updated the topic thus "there is no error message, but the updates and inserts inside the wrapped script are not executed."

  • Add raiserror or print to check which is the last step that your SP executed successfully.

    Are there any temp tables or transactions involved? Do you have TRY ... CATCH blocks in place to bubble up any errors occurring in nested procs?

  • Thanks for your input everyone.  When I get a moment I'll check some of these but I agree that RETURN EXECUTE is a bit odd ...
