Return value from stored procedure (no replies)

Hi All,

I'm new to MySql stored procs so I've written a simple stored proc to test out the features. I've executed the stored proc from the SQL Editor on the workbench and the lines look like this:

use fmgCMWDB;

set @retVal = -1;
call getUsrDTails('cusrname', 'french1', @retVal);
select @retVal;

When I view the result in the result tab the value is 'blob' and not an number. The stored proc executes correctly as far as I can see by executing the code in SQL Editor.

Any idea why this is not returning an int?

Thanks for any help!!
