How can I get the result of SP_Help myTable

Hi,
Since "Sp_help myTable" will give different rows of result, so I could not
run like
"insert into aTable exec sp_help myTable" to get the result of sp_help for
analysing. How could I get the result and analysing it?
And also, I remember that in the past, I could check the code of sp_help to
get some help for doing the same task that sp_help does, but now, I could
not find the definition of sp_help.
Thanks for any advice
FrankHi Frank
The definitions of the system stored procedures are all available in the
master database and can be viewed using sp_helptext.
USE master
EXEC sp_helptext sp_help
Since sp_help returns multiple results sets, it will be difficult to put the
results all into one table.
You could take the code of sp_help and create a new proc that takes each
result set and puts it into a separate table.
