executing SP

I have stored procedure with parameters.
Can I exec stored procedure somehow with result set of select statement, for
example:
exec dbo.myProcedure (select par1,par2,par3 FROM myTable)
Or I must declare each parameter:
declare @.par1 int,@.par2 int,@.par3 int
SELECT @.par1= par1,@.par2=par2,@.par3=par3 FROM myTable
and then exec my procedure:
exec dbo.myProcedure @.par1,@.par2,@.par3
In real example I have a lot of columns and declaring many of them just to
execute another SP is not so pleasent.
lp,S>> Can I exec stored procedure somehow with result set of select statement,
No, a SELECT statement returns a set of rows. A Stored procedure cannot take
a set of rows for its parameter -- it has to be scalar values. So you have
to explicitly assign individual variables to pass them as parameters.
Anith|||To add to what Anith said, build yourself a query from the
information_schema.columns view to build the parm list, especially if you do
this often.

If you want to create the procedure you could run the query as a SELECT INTO
statement (possibly with WHERE 1=0 to stop any rows being returned!) you
will get a table with the column names and datatypes. This can be scripted
in the object browser into a window and edited (you may want to remove
collations and add @. to the names!)
If you already have the procedure definition then look at
INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS as already suggested.
