Question

I am modifying a stored procedure which is using a cursor, I want to be able to print out or output the values from the cursor that is inserting into a table but am having a hard time trying to figure out how to do this. I need to check all the values for example that get inserted in the orders table by this stored procedure.

I cant do

Print @prodId, @orderQuantity, @orderDate, @orderLocationId, @shipmentId,  @shipmentDate

How can I output/print all the values the cursor has in these columns for each record it goes through? An example with how to do this in code would be appreciated.

You can capture & store the inserted rows in the correct order by outputting them into a temp table with an identity;

create table #inserted(insertorder int identity(0,1), prodId int, orderQuantity int ... <matches inserted row>)

--cursor loop
    insert destination_table(prodId, orderQuantity, ...)
       output inserted.* into #inserted   /*output inserted.* will just select it */
    values @prodId, @orderQuantity ...
--end loop

--inserted rows;
select * from #inserted order by insertorder
