I want to call stored procedure from stored procedure in sql 2005.
My code is

SQL

create PROCEDURE dbo.SPonDeptTable
	(
	@Option int,
	@CompName varchar(50)
	)	
AS

	begin
	if @Option=0
	 begin
select DeptName from MstDepartment where CompanyID=(exec SPonCompanyTabl(1,@CompName)); 

 end
	RETURN
	end

and SPonCompanyTabl is

SQL

create PROCEDURE dbo.SPonCompanyTabl
    (
    @Option int,
    @name varchar
    )
AS

    begin
    --declare @CompID varchar(50)
    if @Option=0
     begin
select CompanyName from MstCompany

 end
 else if @Option=1
 begin
 select CompanyID from MstCompany where CompanyName=@name
 end
    RETURN
    end

SPonCompanyTabl is working fine but when I create SPonDeptTable error is

incorrect syntex near the keyword 'exec'
incorrect syntex near the keyword '1'

The procedure doesn't return a value so you could use a function instead. For more information see CREATE FUNCTION[^].

Of course one possibility would be to combine the procedures for example something like:

SQL

create PROCEDURE dbo.SPonDeptTable
	(
	@Option int,
	@CompName varchar(50)
	)	
AS
BEGIN
   IF @Option=0 BEGIN
      SELECT DeptName 
      FROM   MstDepartment 
      WHERE  CompanyID = (SELECT CompanyID 
                          FROM   MstCompany 
                          WHERE  CompanyName=@CompName); 
 
   END
   RETURN
END
