I have a stored procedure which deletes certain records. I need to get the number of deleted records.

I tried to do it like this:

DELETE FROM OperationsV1.dbo.Files WHERE FileID = @FileID   
SELECT @@ROWCOUNT AS DELETED;

But DELETED is shown as 0, though the appropriate records are deleted. I tried SET NOCOUNT OFF; without success. Could you please help?
Thanks.

    That should work fine. The setting of NOCOUNT is irrelevant. This only affects the n rows affected information sent back to the client and has no effect on the workings of @@ROWCOUNT.

    Do you have any statements between the two that you have shown? @@ROWCOUNT is reset after every statement so you must retrieve the value immediately with no intervening statements.
