Help executing a Stored Procedure

  • Hi,

    Something else I am new to and struggling with is writing Stored Procedures.

    I have the following below -

    ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[usp_test_Arrears_BrokenArrangement]

    @PolicyId INT, @AccountId INT, @PolicyNodeId INT, @output BIT OUT

    AS

    BEGIN

    SET NOCOUNT ON;

    DECLARE @CurrentArrangement as bit

    DECLARE @LastSystemActionId as int

    DECLARE @ActionDate as date

    DECLARE @NoOfBrokenArrangements as int

    DECLARE @ReturnValue as bit

    select @LastSystemActionId=LastSystemActionId from RentAccount where AccountId=@AccountId

    --get the date of the action

    select top 1 @ActionDate=convert(date, ActionDate) from RentAction

    where SystemActionId=@LastSystemActionId and AccountId=@AccountId

    order by ActionDate desc

    --LastSystemActionId 8 - Repayment Arrangement Broken

    if @LastSystemActionId = 8 AND DATEDIFF(d,@ActionDate, GetDate()) = 1

    set @ReturnValue = 1

    else

    set @ReturnValue = 0

    set @output = @ReturnValue

    END

    GO

    Now what I want to do is test parts of this as I build it. So with the following code below I just want to call back the LastSystemActionId from RentAction....but I want to see the result, so could I SET the AccountID somewhere in the Stored Procedure in order to test?

    select @LastSystemActionId=LastSystemActionId from RentAccount where AccountId=@AccountId

  • Of course you can. Did you try it?

  • Yes I did try but kept getting errors as I'm obviously using the SET in the wrong place.

    Yes I did try but kept getting errors as I'm obviously using the SET in the wrong place.

    Perhaps if you share what you tried or even the error message we can help.

  • ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[usp_test_Arrears_BrokenArrangement]

    @PolicyId INT, @AccountId INT, @PolicyNodeId INT, @output BIT OUT

    AS

    BEGIN

    SET NOCOUNT ON;

    SET @AccountId = 1

    I want to be able to pull back the LastSystemActionId for Accountid = 1

    This is obviously wrong but I want to be able to print to screen the result.

    Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Procedure usp_test_Arrears_BrokenArrangement, Line 35

    Incorrect syntax near '@AccountId'.

  • Hi,

    Remove the ALTER , AS and BEGIN in the beginning of the SP and the END in the End.

    Then just declare the variables (DECLARE) and you have a T-SQL code ready for testing. Actually I test the stored procedures in this way.

    DECLARE @PolicyId INT, @AccountId INT, @PolicyNodeId INT, @output BIT OUT

    SET NOCOUNT ON;

    DECLARE @CurrentArrangement as bit

    DECLARE @LastSystemActionId as int

    DECLARE @ActionDate as date

    DECLARE @NoOfBrokenArrangements as int

    DECLARE @ReturnValue as bit

    select @LastSystemActionId=LastSystemActionId from RentAccount where AccountId=@AccountId

    --get the date of the action

    select top 1 @ActionDate=convert(date, ActionDate) from RentAction

    where SystemActionId=@LastSystemActionId and AccountId=@AccountId

    order by ActionDate desc

    --LastSystemActionId 8 - Repayment Arrangement Broken

    if @LastSystemActionId = 8 AND DATEDIFF(d,@ActionDate, GetDate()) = 1

    set @ReturnValue = 1

    else

    set @ReturnValue = 0

    set @output = @ReturnValue

    There is no syntax error in this portion of your procedure.

  • I do think your logic could be greatly simplified into a single select statement instead of all these variables though. A simple case expression could make this a lot simpler.

    There is no syntax error in this portion of your procedure.

    There's a missing END. I'd suggest to remove the BEGIN.

    I remember there's a performance penalty for encapsulating procedures using BEGIN...END. Even if there isn't, it's useless.

    I am not a fan of using BEGIN/END for every procedure. This one to me is more a matter of preference. There are certainly valid arguments on both sides of this one.

    I was really hoping this was just a snippet since it is only a portion of the original query. I am scared as this indicates a lack of understanding the basics of this procedure.

  • I think this is the (actual) logic you need, based on analyzing the original code:

    SET ANSI_NULLS ON;

    SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON;

    GO

    ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[usp_test_Arrears_BrokenArrangement]

    @PolicyId int,

    @AccountId int,

    @PolicyNodeId int,

    @output bit OUTPUT

    AS

    SET NOCOUNT ON;

    --LastSystemActionId 8 - Repayment Arrangement Broken

    SELECT @output = CASE WHEN ra.LastSystemActionId = 8 AND DATEDIFF(DAY, ra.ActionDate, GETDATE()) = 1

    THEN 1

    ELSE 0

    END

    FROM (

    SELECT TOP (1) *

    FROM dbo.RentAction

    WHERE AccountId = @AccountId

    ORDER BY ActionDate DESC

    ) AS ra

    RETURN 0

    GO --end of proc
