Exec sproc in a update function

Folks

Here is a query which updates certain values. GetAddress is another
sproc which returns addrId. I have to pass certain values ie
strAddress1 strCity ....intZip4 values in the sproc GetAddress and execute the update query. In doing so it says GetAddress in
not a recognized function name. Is the syntax correct to exec sproc
GetAddress.

update Persons
set
Persons.strLastName=H.strLastName,
Persons.strNameSuffix=H.strNameSuffix,
Persons.lngHomeID= GetAddress (H.strAddress1,strAddress2,H.strCity,H.strState,H. strZip,H.intZip4),
Persons.lngMailID= GetAddress(H.strAddress1,strAddress2,H.strCity,H.s trState,H.strZip,H.intZip4)
from ALSHeadr H
where Persons.lngSSN=H.lngFedTaxID

FYI I can post GetAddress sproc but it is working properl.
I just want to know how to pass the values in ALSHeadr table into
the sproc.

ThanxUse (create) function instead of sp in this case.|||Snail

Y do I need to make it a function?

create procedure ALSHeadr2Persons
as
/*declaration goes here*/
/* Update existing Persons*/
set @.Cntr = ( select Count(distinct P2.lngSSN) from Persons P2 join ALSHeadr H2 on H2.lngFedTaxID=P2.lngSSN where P2.lngSSN>0 and P2.lngSSN<999999999)

update
Persons set
Persons.strNameSuffix=ALSHeadr.strNameSuffix,
Persons.lngHomeID= GetAddress ALSHeadr.strAddress1,strAddress2,ALSHeadr.strCity, ALSHeadr.strState,ALSHeadr.strZip,ALSHeadr.intZip4 ,
Persons.lngMailID= GetAddress ALSHeadr.strAddress1,strAddress2,ALSHeadr.strCity, ALSHeadr.strState,ALSHeadr.strZip,ALSHeadr.intZip4
from ALsHeadr
where Persons.lngSSN=ALSHeadr.lngFedTaxID

end

How do I pass the values of ALSHeadr table the GetAddress sproc??
based on the condition Persons.lngssn=alsheadr.lngfedtaxid

Any other syntax solution?

What about this draft?

drop table test
drop table test2
create table test(id int)
create table test2(id int, code varchar(10))
go
insert test values(1)
insert test values(2)
insert test values(3)
insert test2 values(1,'a')
insert test2 values(2,'b')
insert test2 values(3,'c')
go
CREATE FUNCTION getit(@.id int)
RETURNS varchar
AS
BEGIN
declare @.ret varchar(10)
select @.ret=code from test2 where id=@.id
RETURN @.ret
END
GO
select *,dbo.getit(id)
from testsql
