SQL using sp_HelpText to view a stored procedure on a linked server

Question

Anyone have an idea about how to use sp_helptext to view a stored procedure on a linked server? basically something like this. I don't have the credentials to that linked server to look at it.

EXEC sp_HelpText '[ServerName].[DatabaseName].dbo.storedProcName'

thanks ahead.

Answer 1

Instead of invoking the sp_helptext locally with a remote argument, invoke it remotely with a local argument:

EXEC  [ServerName].[DatabaseName].dbo.sp_HelpText 'storedProcName'
