I have 2 proc , calling one proc inside another. There are 2 parameters need to pass .When I call the main procedure and it takes parameter.There is considition if the value of the parameter I pass is less than 0 it should call other proc.But when I call the procedure with negative values it is not passing the same value to inner procedure.Whne I check the values it is passing null.How to pass parameters from main proc to inner proc.

create proc proc1

( @alloc_id int = null,

@trace int = 0

as

If @alloc_id < 0

exec proc 2

Code of proc2 is

create proc proc2

( @alloc_id int = null,

@trace int = 0

as

Inner query for both procs are diff outer parameters remain the same

Why don't you pass the parameter like

If @alloc_id < 0

exec proc2 @alloc_id

Check the logic, it must of course include an action for negative values, most often this problem is due to a missing ELSE statement.

Yep.

An ELSE may be needed to complete the needs of the OP.

Note that I ALWAYS urge clients to ALWAYS put BEGIN/END around IFs, even if just single line. Avoids some REALLY nasty logic flaws in the future!

If @alloc_id < 0

BEGIN

EXEC proc2 @alloc_id

END
