Get a better debugger ;-)

Database Workbench can do both MS SQL Server and Firebird and
it has, frankly, the most precise Stored Procedure Debugger available.

You should know that Firebird does not have a server side debugger
interface, so developer tools emulate the server behaviour.

You might want to restate your exact requirements, perhaps post your
MS SQL source even and restart :-)
