| Hi,I have a procedure like this. create proc bit_output @var2 char(1), @var1 bit out as begin select @var1 = 0 if @var2 = '2' select @var1 = 1 select @var1 end.@var1 is not initialized. When i execute this procedure : exec bit_output '1',@var1 outit is returning null in 2000 and 0 in sql 6.5 . even if i assign default value to this paramater it is returning null.. when i initialize this variable insided the procedure it is working fine. why it is behaving differently when i don't initialize the variable? any idea? is there any other way to get the same result other than initializing the variable inside the proc.Thanks, |

| In 6.5 bit datatypes didn't allow null.This could beif @var2 = '2'select @var1 = 1elseselect @var1 = 0 ==========================================Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.DTS can be used in a similar way.Beer is not cold and it isn't fizzy. |
