And it's named GetNextMaster because that's what it does, it gets the next Master Record needed, based on the XpID passed in. I'm passing in 0 because I just need the structure in the particular case.

I am not sure about 'Next' in your procedure name? What do you mean by "next"? You're passing parameter and return the row, so why "Next"?

Moving on, you didn't answer my question - are you calling this SP from another database - not TextEXPECL ? If yes, then try calling it

execute TestingExpECL.dbo.GetNextMaster

If you're calling from the same database (from TestingExpECL), then omit DB name and just use

execute dbo.GetNextMaster 0
