I am using TIBOQuery.

Where do the input values for the stored procedures come from? Some
correlation would need to exist between the main record and the input to
the SP in order to be able to represent the calculated value as a member of
the dataset.

For a set like this, I think the most elegant way would be to define the
entire set as a selectable stored procedure, thus making sure that every
row arrives at the client with its correct QTY value... or, with
correlating keys, you may be able to acquire the set using a correlated
sub-query or a join.
