Passing Out Parameter to Sybase Stored Proc from RS

I am defining the Output parameter from Sybase Stored Proc.
How can I define the OUT Parm in RS and display that parm result in Header?
Any help is appreciated.I don't think you can. Instead have your last statement be a select
statement.
BTW, did you solve the problem of what provider to use. Did you go with ODBC
or were you able to stick with OleDB.

We are sticking with OLE-DB.
The problem using OLE-DB was , I cannot pass char or varchar datatype as a
i/p parameter to a stored proc.
I got the alternate solution to this problem:
I can define the report as command type of "Text" and call the proc in the
following way:
="Proc_Name "+chr(34)+parameters!strParm.value+chr(34) + "," +
chr(34)+parameters!dtParm.value+chr(34)

I am trying to pass a string parameter to ASE OLE DB Provider for Sybase.
Where exactly do you use the syntax you mention below? The SQL pane in the
report designer does not appear to allow anything other than the string that
will be passed to the OLE DB provider (even quotes).
Thanks,
John

Personally I would use the & instead of a + sign. What he is doing is
enclosing any strings in single quote marks.
Also note that parameters are case sensitive.
