Bill,

Can a stored procedure as you describe be used to pull in data from a
variety of datasources, simply using Connect db's and sel's.

ie, set up the dbms with some datasource... then, can the stored procedure
connect to other local rbase db's and pull data... thereby ending up with an
array with data from disparate datasources?

Thanks

Depending on the SP, it could be as simple as a direct dbms with the
value:

CALL procedurename(parameterlist)

Or

SELECT (CALL procedurename(parameterlist)) from dummytable
where limit = 1

Any SP run from R:Tango or Witango must not have any R:Base user
interface commands in it: no DIALOG, no PAUSE, no EDIT, no
BROWSE. Restrict yourself to flow control commands, variable
manipulation, and SQL DML commands (SELECT, UPDATE, INSERT,
DELETE)
