DB2 stored proedure CF and DB GROUP

Question

i am new to cf and in a previous post i explained ny current
problem which is that CFMX7 is not finding my stored procedure. I
am using Dreamweaver 8. i am now looking at the database group and
under stored procedures i have "NONE".
under the tables folder I can see all my tables(and column
names) for the datasource i am using.
if i go to bindings group i can see the stored procedure name
but if i double click on it , the stored procedure window opens
with none of the fields filled out. I select the datasource from
the drop down, and enter the user name and password. the procedure
dropdown then displays "*** NO Stored Procedure Found".
in db2 stored procedures are kept in a seperate folder
(application Objects/ Stored Procedures) and the table are kept in
the (tables) folder. how do i point Dreamweaver / CF to where the
stored procedures are located? or am i heading in the wrong
direction?
Thanks in advance bob

Before you throw CF into the mix, did you first verify the
stored procedure actually works as expected in sql server? I
noticed the varchar variables are missing a size declaration. Add a
size that is large enough to hold the corresponding values from the
client_info table. Then try running the stored procedure directly
in sql server:
DECLARE @clientusername varchar(50)
DECLARE @clientpwd varchar(50)
EXEC getclientstuff 1, @clientusername OUT, @clientpwd OUT
--- display the results
SELECT @clientusername, @clientpwd
> <cfstoredproc procedure="getclientstuff"
datasource=etc...>
> ...
> <cfprocresult name="clientinfo">
> </cfstoredproc>
I do not know about best practices, but personally I tend to
use either "output" variables OR return a resultset (not both).
When I have a lot of information to return, I use a resultset. For
simple or single values like a code, or id value I typically use
"output" variables.
