Returns information about a stored procedure’s input and return parameters.
sp_sproc_columns procedure_name [, procedure_owner] [, procedure_qualifier] [, column_name]
is the name of the stored procedure. The use of wildcard characters in pattern matching is not supported.
is the owner of the stored procedure. The use of wildcard characters in pattern matching is not supported. If no owner is specified, sp_sproc_columns returns all columns.

is the name of the parameter about which you want information. If you do not supply a parameter name, sp_sproc_columns returns information about all input and return parameters for the stored procedure.
The results set for sp_sproc_columns is:
Column |
Datatype |
Description |
---|---|---|
procedure_qualifier |
varchar(30) |
Procedure qualifier name. Can be NULL. |
procedure_owner |
varchar(30) |
Procedure owner name. Always returns a value. |
procedure_name |
varchar(41) |
Procedure name. Always returns a value. |
column_name |
varchar(30) |
Column name for each column of the table_name returned. Always returns a value. |
column_type |
smallint |
This field always returns a value:
|
data_type |
smallint |
The integer code for an ODBC datatype. If this datatype cannot be mapped to an ANSI/ISO type, the value is NULL. The native datatype name is returned in the type_name column. |
type_name |
char(30) |
The string representation of the datatype. This is the datatype name as presented by the underlying DBMS. |
precision |
int |
The number of significant digits. |
length |
int |
The length in bytes of the datatype. |
scale |
smallint |
The number of digits to the right of the decimal point. |
radix |
smallint |
The base for numeric types. |
nullable |
smallint |
The value 1 means this datatype can be created allowing null values; 0 means it cannot. |
remarks |
varchar(254) |
The description of the procedure column. NULL. |
ss_data_type |
tinyint |
An Adaptive Server datatype. |
colid |
tinyint |
The column ID from syscolumns. |
column_def |
varchar(255) |
NULL. |
sql_data_type |
smallint |
An Adaptive Server datatype. |
sql_datetime_sub |
smallint |
NULL. |
char_octet_length |
int |
The value of char_octet_length is the same as the value for the precision column if the datatype for char_octet_length is:
Otherwise, the value of char_octet_length is 0. |
ordinal_position |
int |
The ordinal position of the parameter in the parameter list. The first parameter in the list is 1, and return values have an ordinal. |
is_nullable |
varchar(3) |
Describes whether the column or parameter allows NULL as a value. From syscolumns. |
mode |
varchar(20) |

|
sp_sproc_columns reports the type_name as float, and data_type as 6 for parameters defined as double precision. The Adaptive Server double precision datatype is a float implementation supports the range of values as specified in the ODBC specifications.
Any user can execute sp_sproc_columns.
