Getting parameter's user-defined datatype?

Hey,
Is there any way to get routine's parameter's user-defined datatype from
system tables/views?
I see there is a corresponding field in INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PARAMETERS view,
but it is said to be for future use...
Thank You in advance,
MartinThis should server as a starting point:
SELECT *
FROM syscolumns as sc
INNER JOIN systypes AS st on sc.xtype = st.xtype
where sc.id IN (SELECT id FROM sysobjects WHERE type = 'P')

This works:
select parameter_name, data_type
from information_schema.parameters
where specific_name = 'procedure name'
Substitute your procedure name in the WHERE clause.
