You guys are doing SQL functions. I am trying to create an external
procedure. the difference being CREATE PROCEDURE vs CREATE FUNCTION....
unless I am completely missing something, those are different, are they
not?

Yup. As Charles points out, stored procedures don't have return values. So
if you want your procedure to be called as a stored procedure, you can't
return a value. Were you planning on using the returned value?
