How to set multiple output parameters in stored procedures - sql-server

Question

Is there a way to set multiple output parameters?
For example, in the stored procedure shown here, I wish to get the NUM_OF_ROWS and the TicketNumberz from the same stored procedure.
Since, I am new I don't know how to go about it...
DECLARE #TicketNumberz VARCHAR(15) OUT
DECLARE #NUM_OF_ROWS INT OUT
DECLARE #INIT INT=1 OUT
SET #TicketNumberz = (SELECT TICKETNUMBER
FROM TicketHistory s1
WHERE TICKETTIME IN (SELECT MAX(S2.TICKETTIME)
FROM TicketHistory] S2
WHERE s1.TICKETNUMBER = S2.TICKETNUMBER)
AND CURRENTSTATUS_ANALYST != 'Closed'
AND CURRENTSTATUS_ANALYST = 'Resolved'
AND TICKETTIME < GETDATE() - 5)
-- after getting all the list of ticket numbers, update query follows to update the ticket status to 'Closed'
WHILE (#INIT <= #NUM_OF_ROWS)
BEGIN
INSERT INTO TicketHistory (CURRENTSTATUS_ANALYST, TICKETNUMBER,
PREVIOUSSTATUS_ANALYST, TICKETTIME, FIELD, CREATEDBY)
VALUES ('Closed', #TicketNumberz,
'Resolved', CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, 'Status', 'Auto.User')
END
What this query basically does it, it would fetch all the ''Resolved' tickets which are older than 5 days and had not been 'Closed' automatically. So doing it manually through this stored procedure.
But, I am stuck because of the following error :
Subquery returned more than 1 value. This is not permitted when the subquery follows =, !=, <, <= , >, >= or when the subquery is used as an expression.
This is how the db looks like :

Answer 1

I would probably rework the subquery in this but not crucial. It seems that perhaps that table structure is a bit of a challenge here but I think you are looking for something along these lines. This would replace all of the code you posted. There is no need for loops or variables of any kind based on what you posted.
--EDIT--
With the clarification from the OP's comment all that need to happen is add the insert above this select
insert into TicketHistory (CURRENTSTATUS_ANALYST,TICKETNUMBER,PREVIOUSSTATUS_ANALYST,TICKETTIME,FIELD,CREATEDBY)
SELECT 'Closed'
, th.TICKETNUMBER
, 'Resolved'
, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
, 'Status'
, 'Auto.User'
FROM TicketHistory th
WHERE TICKETTIME IN
(
SELECT MAX(S2.TICKETTIME)
FROM TicketHistory S2
WHERE s1.TICKETNUMBER = S2.TICKETNUMBER
)
--AND CURRENTSTATUS_ANALYST != 'Closed' --there is no value that equals 'Resolved' where it could also equal 'Closed'
AND th.CURRENTSTATUS_ANALYST = 'Resolved'
AND th.TICKETTIME < dateadd(day, -5, GETDATE()) --use dateadd instead of shorthand

Answer 2

Finally, I was able to achieve the desired result with the below code :
--Creating a table variable
declare #TempTable table(ticketnum varchar(50))
--Inserting values in table variable using procedure
insert #TempTable
select TICKETNUMBER
FROM TicketHistory th
WHERE TICKETTIME IN
(
SELECT MAX(S2.TICKETTIME)
FROM TicketHistory S2
WHERE th.TICKETNUMBER = S2.TICKETNUMBER
)
AND th.CURRENTSTATUS_ANALYST = 'Resolved'
AND th.TICKETTIME < dateadd(day, -5, GETDATE())
--Selecting values from table variable
SELECT * from #TempTable
DECLARE #ticket_number varchar(100)
DECLARE cur CURSOR FOR SELECT ticketnum FROM #TempTable
OPEN cur
FETCH NEXT FROM cur INTO #ticket_number
WHILE ##FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
insert into TicketHistory (CURRENTSTATUS_ANALYST,TICKETNUMBER,PREVIOUSSTATUS_ANALYST,TICKETTIME,FIELD,CREATEDBY)
values('Closed', #ticket_number, 'Resolved', CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, 'Status', 'User.Auto')
FETCH NEXT FROM cur INTO #ticket_number
END
CLOSE cur
DEALLOCATE cur
END
