Stored Procedure reports

Hi All,
I have created a stored procedure in an Oracle 8i database. I am using an Impromptu V6 report to retrieve the value sucessfully.
The report uses the following:
call EDM.PROCWRSTCUSTCOUNTS(?strStartDate? IN, ?strEndDate? IN, ?TotalCusts? OUT, ?15PerTotCusts? OUT, ?15perUCMOS? OUT, ?15perUSAIDI? OUT)
I wish to display only this parameter - ?15perUSAIDI?. The only way I seem to be able to do this is by using the Insert/Prompt Variable command - this is what I have used and it is displaying the value in the report. However, when I go to save this as xl the value does not appear in the spreadsheet - I have to save as excel with format which i don't want to do as the report will run in a macro and I'm not comfortable with the 'send keys' functionality being used in macros. I have tried to create a report that uses this stored proc report but when I go to use data source - hotfile - browse for the reports the stored proc report is not visible and yet i know it is there, however even if I can see the report will the prompt variable show up as a column to be selected. I have a suspicion that I shouldn't be using the Insert/Prompt Variable command to display the data but i can't find the documentation that says what i should be doing. I have another thought of calling the stored proc in the macro and pasting the value retrieved straight into the spreadsheet although I have sen it suggested that this funtionality no longer exists in the macros. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
