Passing text parameters

Hello Guys,

create procedure spsCheckMsg(
@.sTyp as varchar(100),
@.tMsg as text) as
select @.tMsg = md_body from tbl_msgdef where msgname = @.sTyp

Parameters of the type text can be used in stored procedures. So I wanted to get the text data (md_body) by a select statement and pass it to the parameter @.tMsg. This code doesn't work. I always get the message "The assignment operation can't have a text datatype as argument" which refers to the select statement.

Does anyone have a solution for this?Howdy

If I have understood correctly, try :

-------------------
Create Procedure spsCheckMsg
(
@.sTyp as varchar(1000),
@.tMsg as varchar(1000)
)

AS

set @.tMsg =
( select convert(varchar(1000),md_body) from tbl_msgdef where msgname = @.sTyp )
-------------------

Cheers,
