I have a stored procedure in mysql 5.1.48 that deletes old data from my

I would like to keep a running count while it does this. Here is what I
try now:
...
DECLARE dropCnt INT DEFAULT 0;
...
SET @sql = CONCAT('DELETE FROM myTable WHERE itemid = ', iID, ' AND
clock BETWEEN 0 AND ', histUnixTime, ' ');
PREPARE s1 FROM @sql;
EXECUTE s1;
SELECT ROW_COUNT() INTO dropCnt;
DEALLOCATE PREPARE s1;
...
The problem here is that "SELECT ROW_COUNT() INTO dropCnt;" returns NULL
every time.
If I just do the select without the INTO, I get 0 or some actual count
of rows.
How can I get my dropCnt variable correcly set?
You may be able to use one of the other two syntaxes available:
1) SET dropCnt = ROW_COUNT()
2) SELECT dropCnt := ROW_COUNT()
Please let us know if either of those also fails.
