For a non-Progress stored procedure, PROC-STATUS indicates that the procedure has completed execution and retrieves any return status. For a send-sql-statement stored procedure, CLOSE STORED-PROCEDURE marks the stored procedure handle "reusable" and does not close the SQL cursor associated with the proc handle. When we get subsequent RUN STORED-PROC request, DataServer reuses the proc-handle if the SQL statement matches the existing statement in the cache. if not, it allocates a new proc-handle.

CLOSE STORED-PROCEDURE procedure-name
    [integer-field = PROC-STATUS ]
    [ WHERE PROC-HANDLE = integer-field]

procedure-name

The name of the stored procedure that you want to close or the built-in procedure name, send-sql-statement

integer-field = PROC-STATUS

Assigns the return value from a stored procedure to the specified integer field or variable (integer-field).

WHERE PROC-HANDLE = integer-field

An integer field or variable whose value uniquely identifies the stored procedure that produces the results returned from the data source or the SQL cursor of a send-sql-statement stored procedure.

Consider these points concerning the CLOSED STORED-PROCEDURE statement:

• If you specified a PROC-HANDLE when you ran a stored procedure, you must specify the PROC-HANDLE when you close the stored procedure.
• If you do not specify a PROC-HANDLE, the CLOSE STORED-PROCEDURE statement closes the procedure if there is only one stored procedure running. If there is more than one stored procedure running, an error is returned.
