SUMMARY

This article shows how to use the stored procedure sp_helpextendedproc to return information about extended stored procedures when accessing date available from SQL Server.

MORE INFORMATION

The sp_helpextendedproc stored procedure returns a cursor with information regarding currently defined extended stored procedures and the name of the dynamic link library to which the procedure belongs.

The columns returned by sp_helpextendedproc are:
Column name          Description
-----------          -----------

NAME                 Name of the stored procedure
DLL                  Dynamic link library to which the stored procedure in
                     the NAME column belongs.
				
  1. Create a program file called "SP_PROCS.PRG" using the following code making sure that the user has the correct permissions:
          * Substitute the server name
          #DEFINE Connect_String 'DRIVER={SQL Server};SERVER=MY_SERVER;' + ;
             'DATABASE=PUBS;UID=UserName;PWD=StrongPassword'
          * Connect to SQL Server
          gnConnHandle=SQLSTRINGCONN(Connect_String)
          IF gnConnHandle>0
             * Create a command to execute the stored procedure
                   SQLCommand="sp_helpextendedproc"
                   * Execute the stored procedure and return data to a cursor
                   testvar=SQLEXEC(gnConnHandle,SQLCommand,'SYS_Procs')
                   ? testvar
                   * Select the cursor
                   SELECT SYS_Procs
                   BROWSE LAST
                =SQLDISCONN(gnConnHandle)
          ENDIF
          CLOSE ALL
          RETURN
    							
  2. From the Command window, type "DO SP_PROCS."
