As in
print "this is a message from the sproc"
?
If so these are routed to the client's message handler. Please see
sybutil.pl or ctutil.pl (in the lib directory of the Sybperl
distribution, also in the $PERL5LIB/site_perl directory if sybperl has
been normally installed). Also see the discussion on message handlers
in (or server callbacks) in teh Sybase OpenClient docs).

You won't know until you run the sproc. In addition the number of
result sets can very well be variable. So you should code your
programs to be able to handle an unknown number of result sets, by
looping over dbresults() until it returns NO_MORE_RESULTS, or by
looping over ct_results() until it stops returning CS_SUCCEED.
