SYMPTOMS

When attempting to replay a trace captured with SQL Profiler that contains prepared cursor statements (sp_cursorprepare), the following error may occur:

Server: Msg 16902, Level 16, State 21, Line 0
sp_cursorprepare: The value of parameter 'paramdef' is invalid.

This error occurs when the query is submitted as a parameterized query, but no parameter markers are actually supplied, resulting in the second parameter value being NULL.
