Parsing variables from a select SP to an update SP

Hi

I need to pass pass variables from my select SP to an update SP...
Has anyone got any ideas?

my select SP is as follows

VB Code:

SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER OFF 
GO
SET ANSI_NULLS ON 
GO
 
 
 
ALTER  PROCEDURE [update_TBL_SCALE_EVENT_2]
@ProductID char(20),
@Scale_Event_ID numeric output 
 
as
 
DECLARE @ErrorSave INT
SET @ErrorSave = 0
 
SELECT     LABEL_SPECIFICATION.PRODUCT_CODE, LABEL_SPECIFICATION.PRODUCT_LINE, LABEL_SPECIFICATION.PACKAGE_SPECIFICATION_NUMBER, 
                      LABEL_SPECIFICATION.PRODUCT_DESCRIPTION, LABEL_SPECIFICATION.TWIST_1, 
                      LABEL_SPECIFICATION.AFTER_TREATMENT, LABEL_SPECIFICATION.ENDS, LABEL_SPECIFICATION.SURFACE_DENSITY, 
                      LABEL_SPECIFICATION.METRIC_DESCRIPTION, LABEL_SPECIFICATION.AVERAGE_UNIT, 
                      LABEL_SPECIFICATION.SPECIAL_DESCRIPTION, LABEL_SPECIFICATION.TIE_ON_TAILS, LABEL_SPECIFICATION.OVERSPRAY, 
                      PACKAGING_SPECIFICATION.PACKAGE_SPECIFICATION_REVISION,  
                    PACKAGING_SPECIFICATION.CARTONS_PER_PALLET, 
                      PACKAGING_SPECIFICATION.INDIVIDUAL_PACKAGE_WEIGHT,PACKAGING_SPECIFICATION.PALLET_LENGTH,PACKAGING_SPECIFICATION.TARE_WEIGHT_OF_PACKAGING
FROM         LABEL_SPECIFICATION INNER JOIN
                      PACKAGING_SPECIFICATION ON 
                      LABEL_SPECIFICATION.PACKAGE_SPECIFICATION_NUMBER = PACKAGING_SPECIFICATION.PACKAGE_SPECIFICATION_NUMBER
where Label_Specification.Product_Code = @ProductID
 
 
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER OFF 
GO
SET ANSI_NULLS ON 
GO

the returned RS needs to be passed to be update SP

Thanks

Are you familiar with CURSORS? Because that would be the only way (within SQL) to do what you want to do.....

With SQL 2000 there is also a Table data type.

You can not pass a recordset into a stored procedure. In this case it looks like you only are dealing with one record? So you could create variables for each column your select statement and pass those as individual params into one SP. Why you would want to do something like this I don't really understand.

The reason why I need to do this is because, within my VB app
a user enters a product code, the select is used to validate the
code and the appropriate packing spec....the problem is that a
user can enter the wrong code but it may exists within the tables,
if this occurs it will still create an event.......

Technome - I am not familiar with cursor types? I am relatively new
to SQL.... Is there any slight chance you could send an example?

rlwhealdon - are you suggesting that I place the Results into a temp table?

Thanks everyone for your help!!!
