I have the solution!

Convert your stored procedure to function that returns a table. It works!

Something like this:

 

create or alter function dbo.my_function()
returns @my_data table
(
Field1 varchar(20),
Field2 int,
Field3 int
)
as
begin

   declare @test  int

   set  @test = 1

   insert into @my_data

   select [Field1, Field2, Field3]

   from [your table]

   where Field3 = @test

 

   return

end

@Lily36876 , You have to use select here. declare etc is not supported.

SP is supported, But not sure that can work direct query
