I think it's returned by a subsequent call to C.fetchall().  A stored
procedure can return the result of multiple selects so you need to keep
asking the cursor if there are more result sets and call fetchall() as long
as there are:

        while True:
           rows = C.fetchall()
           print rows
           if not C.nextset():
               break

    Bradley> Finally, what does the "1" in Sybase.OUTPUT(1) mean?  

I don't recall.  Someone else will have to chime in.
