i basically want to use the value of the id which i’m getting now with

Answering the (now deleted) question in the comments…

It is possible to use @@IDENTITY directly in the parameter list of the stored procedure call. For SCOPE_IDENTITY() (which you should be using to avoid problems if a trigger is later added to the table) this syntax is not allowed you need to use an intermediate variable as below.

declare @id int

insert into ...

set @id = SCOPE_IDENTITY() 

EXEC AddEmp2 0,@id
