Question

I have created one sql procedure to return password associated with user name.

SQL Procdure:

USE [C:\INETPUB\WWWROOT\ADDMARKER\MAP\MAP\APP_DATA\ASPNETDB.MDF]
GO
/****** Object:  StoredProcedure [dbo].[aspnet_Membership_EmailPassword]    Script Date: 10/18/2012 15:32:02 ******/
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
-- =============================================
-- Author:      <Author,,Name>
-- Create date: <Create Date,,>
-- Description: <Description,,>
-- =============================================
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[aspnet_Membership_EmailPassword] 
    -- Add the parameters for the stored procedure here
            (
            @UserName  nvarchar(256),
            @PasswordReturn nvarchar(128) out
            )
AS
BEGIN
    -- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from
    -- interfering with SELECT statements.
     DECLARE @UserId                                 uniqueidentifier
     DECLARE @Password                               nvarchar(128)
     DECLARE @Return_Password                         nvarchar(256)
     DECLARE @IsLockedOut                            bit
     DECLARE @ErrorCode     int
     SET @ErrorCode = 0

     DECLARE @TranStarted   bit
     SET @TranStarted = 0
      SET NOCOUNT ON;

IF( @@TRANCOUNT = 0 )
    BEGIN
        BEGIN TRANSACTION
        SET @TranStarted = 1
    END
    ELSE
        SET @TranStarted = 0

    SELECT  @UserId = u.UserId,
            @Password = m.Password,
            @IsLockedOut = m.IsLockedOut

    FROM    dbo.aspnet_Users u, dbo.aspnet_Membership m WITH ( UPDLOCK )
    WHERE    u.UserId = m.UserId AND
            LOWER(@UserName) = u.LoweredUserName

     IF ( @@rowcount = 0 )
    BEGIN
        SET @ErrorCode = 1
    END

    IF( @IsLockedOut = 1 )
    BEGIN
        SET @ErrorCode = 99
    END
    IF(Not( @ErrorCode = 0) )
    set @PasswordReturn = 'Error in search'
       ELSE
       set @PasswordReturn = @Password
       RETURN @PasswordReturn
END

I am getting error

“Msg 245, Level 16, State 1, Procedure aspnet_Membership_EmailPassword, Line 59
Conversion failed when converting the nvarchar value ‘egt1egt’ to data type int.”

On execution of that procedure.

Please can any one help?

Thanks

Answer 1

Return can only return an int which is the return value of the procedure.

The output parameter will be automatically returned when you exit the procedure, so remove the line

 RETURN @PasswordReturn
