Is it possible to use “return” in stored procedure?

Question

 CREATE PROCEDURE Pname(in_Tid IN VARCHAR2,in_IP IN VARCHAR2,outstaticip OUT VARCHAR2,outcount OUT NUMBER)
 AS
 BEGIN
 select STATIC_IP into outstaticip from OP_TTER         


        

Answer 1

In Stored procedure, you return the values using OUT parameter ONLY. As you have defined two variables in your example:

   outstaticip OUT VARCHAR2, outcount OUT NUMBER

Just assign the return values to the out parameters i.e. outstaticip and outcount and access them back from calling location. What I mean here is: when you call the stored procedure, you will be passing those two variables as well. After the stored procedure call, the variables will be populated with return values.

If you want to have RETURN value as return from the PL/SQL call, then use FUNCTION. Please note that in case, you would be able to return only one variable as return variable.
