A return status result set is generated by the execution of a stored procedure. All stored procedures return a status number. See the description of the return command in the Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise Reference Manual for more information.
A return status result set consists of a single row containing a return status.
An application calls ct_bind and ct_fetch to process a return status.
Most synchronous applications use a program structure similar to the following one to process a return status result set:
case CS_STATUS_RESULT
ct_bind to bind the status to a program variable
while ct_fetch returns CS_SUCCEED or CS_ROW_FAIL
if CS_SUCCEED
process the return status
else if CS_ROW_FAIL
handle the failure
end if
end while
switch on ct_fetch’s final return code
case CS_END_DATA...
case CS_CANCELED...
case CS_FAIL...
end switch
end case
