  • After some googling I found two solutions:

    1. use a dummy select statement as the first select statement in your procedure to provide the metadata:

    ALTER procedure [dbo].[up_test]

    as

    begin

    set nocount on

    if 1=0

    begin

    select cast('A' as varchar(1)) as A

    end

    select 'A' as A into #temp

    select * from #temp

    drop table #temp

    end

    2. Use table variables instead of temporary tables

    ALTER procedure [dbo].[up_test]

    as

    begin

    set nocount on

    declare @temp table (A varchar(1))

    insert into @temp values ('A')

    select * from @temp

    end
