getting a store procedure's result

Hey guys,
I have a store procedure that returns a recorset. Here's an example:
create procedure ABC as
--some code here that works with @.x and @.y.. and then the last line
of the proc:
SELECT @.x,@.y
That procedure has been used only in a vb code, so they consume the
result with no problem. Now I need to call that procedure within a
different proc, and I need to get back the final values of @.x and @.y.
Is there a way to get these results back in a variable as I call the
store proc?
Thanks,
You could create the sp with output parameters, if you always return only
one row. This way, you can easily call it from an application as well as
from another procedure. If recreating this sp with output parameters is not
an option, then you have to use the INSERT...EXEC syntax to store the data
to a table, and then select from that table.

|||Use output parameters for SQL procedure from which you wish to assign the
values to the variables. (More information look for: "Returning Data Using a
Return Code" in SQL books online)
