How to view the stored procedure code in SQL Server Management Studio

Question

I am new to SQL Server. I am logged into my database through SQL Server Management Studio.

I have a list of stored procedures. How do I view the stored procedure code?

Answer 1

exec sp_helptext 'your_sp_name' -- don't forget the quotes

In management studio by default results come in grid view. If you would like to see it in text view go to:

Query --> Results to --> Results to Text

or CTRL + T and then Execute.
