If anyone has experience with using stored procedures, please assist me. They save me a lot of time writing SQL queries on the Automation Anywhere command line dashboard. I've successfully created Stored procedure in sql database, and they return the correct results. However, when attempting to run them in Automation Anywhere, the results are not as expected. Is there a specific way or syntax for using SQL in Automation Anywhere? If so, could you please provide a snippet to help me understand? Thank you in advance.

I’m not a guru with AA, yet, but this is what I have standardized on.
First, obviously is the Database Connect, setting up the JDBC correctly.
Next, when I code for the stored procedures, all parameters are accounted for whether or not they are needed. For example, I am looking at a stored procedure that can take 8 optional parameters. I only need the first and last one. But I code all 8 in the proper sequence. I ran into issues if I did not code them all.
Next, I have standardized on always writing the output to a csv file, and then read the csv into a table. That way I have copy of the results for audit purposes. If I get the results to a data table and the bot fails, I have nothing.
My standard process, overall, looks like this:
I hope this helps you. And I am open to any critique of others reading this.
