Teradata

IN -> Teradata_02.sql
CREATE PROCEDURE ifExample1 ( flag NUMBER )
BEGIN
   IF flag = 1 THEN
      INSERT INTO if_table(col1) VALUES ('one');

Snowflake Scripting

OUT -> Teradata_02.sql
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE ifExample1 (FLAG NUMBER(38, 18))
RETURNS VARCHAR
LANGUAGE SQL
COMMENT = '{"origin":"sf_sc","name":"snowconvert","version":{"major":1, "minor":0},{"attributes":{"component":"teradata"}}'
EXECUTE AS CALLER
AS
$$
   BEGIN
      IF (flag = 1) THEN
         INSERT INTO if_table (col1)
         VALUES ('one');
      END IF;
   END;
$$;
