Hello,

I created a stored proc in SQL Server like so 

  CREATE PROCEDURE sp_myproc 
    @a VARCHAR(250), 
    @b VARCHAR(250)
  AS 
  
  BEGIN TRAN
  
  ..bunch of code..
  
  DECLARE @id NUMERIC, @newid NUMERIC

  SELECT @id = id, @newid = (id + 1) 
  FROM sometable 
  WHERE (some condition)
  
  ..more bunch of code..
  
  -- Now, insert a new record in request
  INSERT INTO anothertable (id, othercols)
  VALUES (@id, othervals)
  
  -- Update the request id
  UPDATE yetanothertable 
  SET id = @newid 
  WHERE (someothercondition)
  
  COMMIT TRAN
  
  RETURN @id

Which I call via DBD::OBDC like so 

my $sth = $dbh->prepare("EXEC sp_myproc ?, ?");
my $id = $sth->execute('foo', 'bar');

[download]

Obviously my code above is wrong because the $id captured by the Perl code is not the same as the @id created in the stored proc. My $id is always 1, which is, I am guessing, indicating success at running the stored proc. I want to get back that @id that I created in the stored proc.

In general, how do I get one or more values back from a complicated (or not so) stored procedure back in my Perl code so I can work with it?

Many thanks in advance.
