15.6.3. Creating Stored Procedure Query Subjects
Stored procedures that return scalar values cannot be used as a Cognos 8 query subject. And while you can pass parameter values into a stored procedure, return parameters from a stored procedure are not supported. You can, however, use this definition process to have a stored procedure act as a user-defined function that can be made accessible when creating a calculation, which will be mentioned briefly in the section "Turning a Stored Procedure Query Subject into a Function," later in the chapter.
So you _can't_ report back a sp scalar(single value return) as a query subject ~ but _can_ use in a formula.

Exploring Git
NeedED something to back up my 'applet' creation, SQL scripts, notes, etc.
Git looks like a pretty quick, predictable option. Neat features:
-single repository in your root
-branching easy
-can push~pull from other repositories
-content vs. file based ~ In my mind I think this may mean it is faster ~ smaller
Differences from SVN:
-Folders remain 'uncolorized' until you actual content(remember Git is
'content' based.
Quick startup:
-Install Git and TortoiseGit
Note:
Git provides 'Git Bash'(unix) and 'Git GUI' (simple point~click interface). However, my preference is TortoisGit. It hooks to Windows explorer and is pretty much _identical_ to TortoiseSVN.

Awaiting GooglePlus...
Read with interest the PCMagazine article describing the phenomenal growth of GooglePlus. I really wanted to try 'hangouts' -- but, when I went to sign up found that the limited trial(10M+~!) -- wasn't accepting more people.
