How do I capture @@ROWCOUNT from a stored procedure?

Greetings,

I have a stored procedure that does updates.  The sproc is called from an “Exec SQL Task”.  The sproc returns the number of rows that were updated using this technique:

RETURN @@ROWCOUNT

How do I capture the sproc’s return value (number of rows) in a package-level variable?  I eventually want to log this value.  The sproc is not returning a result set.  I’m new to SSIS so any general guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks,

BCB
