Errors: “INSERT EXEC statement cannot be nested.” and “Cannot use the ROLLBACK statement within an INSERT-EXEC statement.” How to solve this?

This is a common issue when attempting to ‘bubble’ up data from a chain of stored procedures. A restriction in SQL Server is you can only have one INSERT-EXEC active at a time. I recommend looking at How to Share Data Between Stored Procedures which is a very thorough article on patterns to work around this type of problem.

For example a work around could be to turn Sp3 into a Table-valued function.
