convert feature layer to gprecordset

[AlistairFox]

I have a model that is populating an sde layer with its results. Instead of the feature layer being the output parameter i want to get the underlying table of data into a gprecordset so i can display these as results. can someone point me in the direction to accomplish this.

Make Table View followed by Copy Rows to an output parameter should return the data from a server tool.

Feature sets and record sets are normally used for input not output.  In general, layers are not usually tool outputs, as they aren't data, just memory containers that point to data on disk (which in the case of a GP service is not available to you on the client!)
