Stored procedures
10
System procedures are built-in stored procedures used for getting reports from
and updating system tables. Catalog stored procedures retrieve information
from the system tables in tabular form.
Note While these procedures perform the same functions as they do in
Adaptive Server Enterprise and pre-Version 12 Adaptive Server IQ, they are
not identical. If you have preexisting scripts that use these procedures, you may
want to examine the procedures. To see the text of a stored procedure, run
sp_helptext procedure_name
You may need to reset the width of your DBISQL output to see the full text, by
clicking Command
→
Options and entering a new Limit Display Columns
value.
