SQL Related Articles: Returning values from Stored Procedures

Alexander,

Instead of using stored procedures I use stored functions which return the
value which normally is returned in the OUT parameter.

I normally do the following:

I've got a file called dummy with 1 field called CstringField varchar(4096)
in the database.

File definition (Clarion)

Dummy
FILE,DRIVER('ODBC'),OWNER(Connect),NAME('Dummy'),PRE(DCDum),BINDABLE,THREAD
Record                   RECORD,PRE()
CStringField                CSTRING(4096)
                         END
                     END

I then do the following in Clarion code:

  OPEN(Dummy)

  Dummy{PROP:Sql} = 'SELECT StoredFunction('& InPar1 &','& InPar2 &')'

  Next(Dummy)

  !now Dum:CstringField contains the result from the stored function.

Maybe this can help you.

Regards,
