Stored procedures with insert clauses

The insert procedures are identical at the primary and replicate sites. The upper-level stored procedure that controls the insert procedures and the insert procedures observe the following logic:

These scripts create the ins_publishers and ins_titles insert stored procedures and the upper-level stored procedure ins_pub_title.

-- Execute this script at NY and SF data servers
-- Creates stored procedure 
 create procedure ins_publishers
 (@pub_id char(4), @pub_name varchar(40)=null,
 city varchar(20)=null, @state char(2)=null)
 as
 	insert publishers values (@pub_id,
 	@pub_name, @city, @state)
 /* end of script */

-- Execute this script at NY and SF data servers
 -- Creates stored procedure 
 create procedure ins_titles
 (@title_id tid, @title varchar(80), @type char(12),
 @pub_id char(4)=null, @price money=null, @advance money=null,
 @total_sales int=null, @notes varchar(200)=null,
 @pubdate datetime, @contract bit)
 as
 if not exists (select pub_id from publishers
 		where pub_id=@pub_id)
 	raiserror 20001 “** FATAL ERROR: Invalid publishers id **”
