TAdoDbxParameter.Direction Property

Gets or sets a value indicating whether the parameter is input-only, output-only, bidirectional, or a stored procedure return value parameter.

Pascal
property Direction: ParameterDirection;
C++
__property ParameterDirection Direction;

Direction is one of the ParameterDirection enumeration values. 

If you want to use output or return parameters with stored procedures, you need to set this property. If the direction is output, and execution of the associated TAdoDbxCommand does not return a value, the TAdoDbxParameter contains a null value. After the last row from the last result set is read, Output, InputOutput, and ReturnValue parameters are updated. The default is Input.
