Find database that have a specific stored proc

I need a line of SQL that will return only the databases on my SQL Server instance that have a specific stored procedure defined.   If the proc is named "sp_custom_proc", how would I enumerate all the databases where that proc is defined?

This will do it, but you will get a row back for each database it searches with a null result for those it doesn't find.   If you do output to text instead of grid, you can turn column headings off in Tools / Options / Query Results / SQL Server / Output to Text.

Also. sp_MSForEachDB is unsupported as far as I know, but it gets the job done.

EXEC dbo.sp_MSforeachdb 'USE [?]; SELECT SPECIFIC_CATALOG from ?.INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ROUTINES WHERE SPECIFIC_NAME = ''sp_custom_proc''';

EXEC dbo.sp_MSforeachdb  'USE [?]; IF exists (select 1 from sys.procedures where name like ''EZL_AVST'') select db_name(db_id())'
