sql server - "Operation is not allowed when the object is closed" when executing stored procedure

Question

This is my stored procedure, and when I am calling it from my classic ASP code, I am getting the error:

Operation is not allowed when the object is closed.

when I try to do a record count.

Does anyone know what is wrong here?

I am trying to return the table @t.

Thanks.

USE [Hires_new]

    declare @t table (HireID int, StartDate datetime, EndDate datetime, date_initiated datetime, date_closed datetime, firmName nvarchar(100), InquiryID int)
    DECLARE @acc INT 
    SET @acc = 1
    DECLARE @max INT 
    select @max = max(HireID) from NewHire
    WHILE (@acc <= @max)
        BEGIN

            IF (@acc in (select HireID from NewHire))
                BEGIN
                    insert into @t  
                        select HireID, StartDate, EndDate, date_initiated, date_closed, firmName, Inquiries.InquiryID 
                        from WorkPeriod, Firms, Inquiries 
                        where HireID = @acc and WorkPeriod.FirmID = Firms.FirmID and WorkPeriod.InquiryID = Inquiries.InquiryID 
                        order by HireID,StartDate DESC
                END
            set @acc = @acc + 1
        END
    select * from @t

Asp classic code

selectNewHireWorkPeriodsSQL = "EXEC sp_selectNewHireWorkPeriodsSQL"
Set rsNewHireWorkPeriods = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
rsNewHireWorkPeriods.Open selectNewHireWorkPeriodsSQL,ConnectionString,adOpenStatic
NumOfNewHireWorkPeriods = rsNewHireWorkPeriods.RecordCount

response.write(NumOfNewHireWorkPeriods)

Answer 1

Try this in your stored procedure:

SET NOCOUNT ON
SET ANSI_WARNINGS OFF

Right below the AS.
