  Hey guys, trying to create a stored proc that updates records and returns the number of records updated. Below is my code but its not returning the value. Any ideas on what im doing wrong?:

  Alter PROCEDURE [dbo].[spG_Update_EDPS_Staging_Status]

  @Group varchar(10),

  @NumRowsChanged int OUTPUT

  AS

  BEGIN

  SET NOCOUNT ON;

  Update [dbo].[MyTable]

  Set Status = 'Loaded'

  Where Status = 'Ready' and [FILE_GROUPING] = @Group

  Select @NumRowsChanged = @@ROWCOUNT

  END

  GO

  SP returns output parameter, but you don't read it. You have to use OUTPUT clause when you run the procedure.

  Here is the syntax for that.

  exec spG_Update_EDPS_Staging_Status @Group, @NumRows OUTPUT
