CREATE PROCEDURE ChilkatSample
AS
BEGIN
    DECLARE @hr int
    -- Important: Do not use nvarchar(max).  See the warning about using nvarchar(max).
    DECLARE @sTmp0 nvarchar(4000)
    -- Most Chilkat classes include a Version property.
    -- To find the version of Chilkat, such as "9.5.0.94",
    -- instantiate the object and examine the Version property.

    -- For example:
    DECLARE @sftp int
    -- Use "Chilkat_9_5_0.SFtp" for versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0
    EXEC @hr = sp_OACreate 'Chilkat.SFtp', @sftp OUT
    IF @hr <> 0
    BEGIN
        PRINT 'Failed to create ActiveX component'
        RETURN
    END

    DECLARE @chilkatVersion nvarchar(4000)
    EXEC sp_OAGetProperty @sftp, 'Version', @chilkatVersion OUT

    PRINT @chilkatVersion

    -- Most other Chilkat classes also have the Version property
    -- For example:
    DECLARE @json int
    -- Use "Chilkat_9_5_0.JsonObject" for versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0
    EXEC @hr = sp_OACreate 'Chilkat.JsonObject', @json OUT

    EXEC sp_OAGetProperty @json, 'Version', @sTmp0 OUT
    PRINT @sTmp0

    EXEC @hr = sp_OADestroy @sftp
    EXEC @hr = sp_OADestroy @json
