Question

I am calling a stored procedure from another stored procedure. That stored procedure is returning an integer value always so I am accepting that value in one integer variable.

EXEC @IsBusinessDay  =  LiteIsWorkingDay @ExecutionStart

But even if stored procedure returning 1 value of the @IsBusinessDay is 0.

Code block

SELECT @ExecutionStart = CONVERT(VARCHAR, GETDATE(), 107)

EXEC @IsBusinessDay  =  LiteIsWorkingDay @ExecutionStart

IF(@IsBusinessDay = 0)
BEGIN
    IF(CONVERT(VARCHAR,@InterMediateStartDate,108) >  CONVERT(VARCHAR,GETDATE(),108))
    BEGIN   
        INSERT INTO TbJobQueue (JobId, ScheduleId, DueDate, Status, ExpiryDate, 
                                ProcessingDate, InputUser, InputTime, 
                                LastModifiedBy, LastModifiedTime)
        VALUES (@JobId, @ScheduleId,  @InterMediateStartDate,  'NQUE', NULL,
                NULL, 'Scheduler', GETDATE(), NULL, NULL)
    END
END

Please Help.

Thanks

If you want the value of the stored procedure in a variable you have to make something like this:

1. Declare output parameter in the LiteIsWorkingDay stored procedure

   create procedure LiteIsWorkingDay
   @ExecutionStart varchar(20), @IsBusinessDay int output

2. In LiteIsWorkingDay stored procedure you have to select a value for the @IsBusinessDay output parameter.

3. In the stored procedure that calls LiteIsWorkingDay you need to do something like this to get its value:

   declare @ExecutionStart varchar(20)
   select @ExecutionStart = convert(varchar, getdate(), 107)

   declare @IsBusinessDay int
   exec LiteIsWorkingDay, @IsBusinessDay output

And that’s all. Now the variable @IsBusinessDay will have the value that you want 🙂
