STUFF FUNCTION and SQL SERVER JOB AGENT

  • Hello,

    I was wondering if someone could please help me. I created a stored procedure utilizing the SQL

    Server Stuff function please refer to code below:

    select

    '99999' + ',' +

    'Hospital' + ',' +

    CONVERT(varchar(4), datepart(yy, getdate()))+

    right('0' + CONVERT(varchar(2), datepart(mm, getdate())),2)+

    right('0' + CONVERT(varchar(2), datepart(dd, getdate())),2)+

    right('0' + CONVERT(varchar(2), datepart(hour, getdate())),2)+

    right('0' + CONVERT(varchar(2), datepart(minute, getdate())),2)+ ',' +

    stuff (( select

    cast(sum(case

    --when asgn_bed_spa_ts IS null and placement not in ('3','4','6','8','9','10') then 1

    when asgn_bed_spa_ts is null and placement in ('1','2','5','7') then 1

    else 0

    end) as varchar) + ','

    FROM @CENSUS_WORK

    group by (placement)

    for XML PATH('')

    ),1,0,'') as 'HospitalPFI,HospitalName,Report_Datetime,AdICU,MedSurg,Burn,PedICU,PedMedSurg,Psych,NegPress,ORbeds,Other,Vents'

    When I execute my stored procedure via the Query Window I receive the following results:

    HospitalPFI,HospitalName,Report_Datetime,AdICU,MedSurg,Burn,PedICU,PedMedSurg,Psych,NegPress,ORbeds,Other,Vents

    99999,Hospital,201106061229,14,27,0,0,11,0,1,0,0,0,

    However when I schedule a job via the Job Agent to execute the stored procedure

    Job step contains [exec usp_sp_havabed] output to a filename.

    I receive the following results.

    Can someone please help me to understand why I am not receiving any data.

    HospitalPFI,HospitalName,Report_Datetime,AdICU,MedSurg,Burn,PedICU,PedMedSurg,Psych,NegPress,ORbeds,Other,Vents

  • Can you provide how you are calling the proc from the job? It's possibly in how the proc is called.
