No , you have to know how many "columns" stored procedures will be returned

--This procedure returns three or two columns from Orders Table depends on
parameter
create proc usp_test
@.orderid int =10248
as
if @.orderid=10248
select orderid,orderdate from orders where orderid=@.orderid
else
select orderid,orderdate,CustomerID from orders where orderid=@.orderid
--I use OPENROWSET command to run this SP and get the data out to temporary
table
select * into #t
from
openrowset('SQLOLEDB','SERVER=NT_SQL_4;DATABASE=No rthwind;UID=appdev;PWD=np,jho;',
'set fmtonly off; exec usp_test 10249') as p
select * from #t
