I need to setup something in SQL job, which will call a procedure (sp_checkrows). If it returns anything then go to next step. otherwise quick and sent error message. How could I do that?

Thanks!

Step1 - execute stored procedure and check for @@ROWCOUNT > 0. RAISERROR if zero and use "quit the job reporting failure" for "on failure action" to fail the job and exit; if greater than zero, use "go to the next step" for "on success action".
Step2 - next step.

I have following, but do not know how to go further. What does that look like? and how it work with success and fail actions?
begin
exec dbo.sp_checkrows
if @@ROWCOUNT<>0
Print 'Successes: '
else
RAISERROR ('fail',16,1)
end

Use 19 instead of 16 for RAISERROR. Using 19 will cause the job to fail. You then would setup the proper actions in the job step (Advanced page).
