Subj:		Passing SQLSTATE in Stored Procedures back to BTEQ?

From:		Bense, Peter

I have a small dilemma that I'm encountering with coding a basic SP to collect statistics.

The proc should perform 3 steps:

1. An insert

2. A COLLECT STATISTICS statement

3. An update

I want the SP to return the SQLSTATE of the COLLECT STATISTICS step. I know SQLSTATE should hold this variable upon completion of that step, but how do I pass that back to BTEQ?

I am sure I can map it to a standard IN/OUT variable or something, but I don't think that will do what I want. What I want to happen is that the state of this event (if NZ) will also cause the INVOKING of the SP itself to return the same NZ value.

Any ideas?
