>Couple questions as to what this procedure is doing. It works, but I'm not sure about the "@strData" in the GETDATA. Is that a variable by reference? So that after GETDATE runs, the value of strData is returned? Also, why the "SPACE(256)" line? Is it to define it as a string, or to define the length, or both? It works with strings much larger than 256, so I'm just curious what the purpose is. Thanks!

Variable sent to GetData by reference. GetData will put data into that variables memory space so you can see the changed content after the GetData function finishes.
