How to use 'Execute Procedure' to retrieve table data from an ext. MS SQL ?

Question

Hi,
We have to call a stored procedure from an external MS SQL database . We are able to connect to the database and are able to successfully do a SQL (Select ) on the SQL tables. However to maintain data integrity and other security issues, we have to call a stored procedure on that database  from SAP. The stored rocedure will return a table which will contain multiple records .
We have tried using the EXECUTE PROCEDURE command. However it returns SQL errors?
Our SAP instance is on MS SQL.
Please note we have gone through all SAP notes and SDN already. The query is not about connecting to the database. It is solely to find out the correct way for calling the stored procedure. The example in the SAP help documentation is for single IN and OUT parameters. We are able to do that successfully. Our requirement is to get a table back from the stored procedure.
Please help with the correct syntax and code example if you have one.
I would be glad to provide any other information that may be helpful.
Thanks in advance.
