PRB: Symbol <default> Always Shown in Input Parameters Dialog

 Last reviewed: June 26, 1997
Article ID: Q156142
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Visual C++, Enterprise Edition, versions 4.2, 5.0

SYMPTOMS

When you execute or debug any stored procedure, the Execute Stored Procedure dialog box shows the symbol "<default>" even if the procedure does not have default value parameters.

CAUSE

Open database connectivity (ODBC) and SQL Server do not provide a means to determine if a stored procedure has been defined with default values for parameters.

MORE INFORMATION

In the Execute Stored Procedure dialog box, the values you enter are correctly passed to the procedure. When you do not enter explicit values and there is no default value for the parameter, you get an error. For example, the SQL Server datasource gives the following error: 

   37000[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Drier][SQL Server]
   Procedure <name> expects parameter <name> which was not supplied

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
