BUG: RETURN Statement After an RPC Causes Extra Result Set Last reviewed: April 28, 1997 Article ID: Q100818

The information in this article applies to: Microsoft SQL Server version 4.2 for OS/2 BUG# OS/2: 1724 (4.2) SYMPTOMS An extra result set is returned from SQL Server when a stored procedure containing an EXECUTE of a remote stored procedure, followed by a RETURN statement, is executed. This does not happen if there is no return statement following the execute of the remote stored procedure, or if a local stored procedure is executed instead of a remote one. For example, executing the following stored procedure replicates the above problem: create proc rpcproc as execute <remote machine>...sp_who return go execute rpcproc go WORKAROUND Modify the stored procedure, if possible, to avoid the explicit RETURN statement following the call to execute the remote stored procedure. Also ensure your front-end application is handling the extra result set properly. A DB-LIBRARY (db-lib) front-end should always call dbresults until it returns NO_MORE_RESULTS. STATUS Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SQL Server version 4.2 for OS/2. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
