How to retrieve the outer parameter of a stored procedure in XSQL page

Question

I have to call a stored procedure in the xsql page that returns a resultset (ie. oracle table/record type) through an outer paramter. Is there any built-in xsql action tag available to get the parameter and present
it in xml on the page? please help, thanks.

You cant get two resultsets out of SP like this. The workaround is to merge and bring the resultsets.
For this number of columns as well as corresponding datatypes have to be compatible. Also you will need one additional column which indicates resultset value. Then use this as filter to get your desired resultset out
create procedure GetData as
begin
select 'resultset1' as Cat,*,.. N columns from Emp
union all
select 'resultset2' as Cat,*,.. N columns from Dept
end
create table #tmp1 (Ddeptid int, deptname varchar(500),Location varchar(100))
Insert into #tmp1 (Ddeptid , deptname ,Location )
Select column1,column2,column3
from OPENROWSET('SQLOLEDB','Data Source=Server_name;Trusted_Connection=yes;
Integrated Security=SSPI','Execute yourdb..GetData')
WHERE Cat = 'resultset1'
create table #tmp (empid int , ename varchar(500),DeptId int , salary int)
Insert into #tmp (empId,ename,deptId,salary)
Select column1,column2,column3, column4
from OPENROWSET('SQLOLEDB','Data Source=Server_name;Trusted_Connection=yes;
Integrated Security=SSPI','Execute yourdb..GetData')
WHERE Cat = 'resultset2'

Another method is to populate table with relevant resultset within procedure itself and then select from the table directly outside.
