   <para>
    If the stored procedure returns parameters or a return value these will
    be available after the call to <function>mssql_execute</function> unless
    the stored procedure returns more than one result set. In that case
    use <function>mssql_next_result</function> to shift through the results.
    When the last result has been processed the output parameters and return
    values will be available.
