Crystal report/SQL SP/DTSRUN

Question

Hi.
[Crystal Reports version 11.5.9.1076]
[SQL Server 2000]
I have a SQL Server stored procedure that runs perfectly
when I execute it in the database but it does not work in Crystal Report.
The stored procedure executes two SQL scripts: drop table
indexes and truncate tables.  After that,
it calls a DTS package to transfer data from an Oracle database to the SQL
database.  After the DTS package call, it
executes two more SQL scripts to put back the table indexes and updates table
statistics.  I can run the stored
procedure in the SQL database (on both my computer and on its server).  The problem occurs when the stored procedure
is called in the Crystal Report.  In
Crystal Report, the stored procedure runs the drop table indexes and truncate
tables scripts and the DTS package.  It
seems to me that Crystal
thinks the job is done at the completion of the DTS package and reports a
success status.  It fails to continue to
run the table indexes creation script and the table statistics update
script.  What causes this?
To summarize, the steps in the SQL database stored procedure
are:
Truncate
     tablesDrop
     indexesRun
     DTS package to transfer data from Oracle DB to SQL DBCreate
     indexesUpdate
     statistics
The stored procedure works find when executed in the SQL database.  When executed in the Crystal Report, it stops
(and thinks) it is done at the end of the DTS package run (step 3).
I have pasted my stored procedure code below for your
review.  Sincerely, Susan Kolonay.

you are over thinking the problemsimply create a parameter within crystal for your state and change it to allow multiple valuesthen in the select expert put in state = ?stateif you do show sql query you will see that the values are pushed down to the sql level thus no performance hit vs putting the parameter directly in the command itself
