Re[2]: Create an SQL function -- MIDRANGE-L


     Sorry, I have never seen CREATE FUNCTION in SQL. I tried it and got 
     the following:
     
                         Additional Message Information                        
                                                                               
 Message ID . . . . . . :   SQL0104                                            
 Date sent  . . . . . . :   05/31/00      Time sent  . . . . . . :   10:45:52  
                                                                               
 Message . . . . :   Token FUNCTION was not valid. Valid tokens: VIEW ALIAS    
   TABLE SCHEMA UNIQUE ENCODED.                                                
                                                                               
 Cause . . . . . :   A syntax error was detected at token FUNCTION.  Token     
   FUNCTION is not a valid token.  A partial list of valid tokens is VIEW ALIAS
   TABLE SCHEMA UNIQUE ENCODED.  This list assumes that the statement is       
   correct up to the token.  The error may be earlier in the statement, but the
   syntax of the statement appears to be valid up to this point.               
 Recovery  . . . :   Do one or more of the following and try the request again:
     -- Verify the SQL statement in the area of the token FUNCTION. Correct the
   statement.  The error could be a missing comma or quotation mark, it could  
   be a misspelled word, or it could be related to the order of clauses.       
     -- If the error token is <END-OF-STATEMENT>, correct the SQL statement    
                                                                        More...

No, I'm not talking about stored procedures.  I'm talking about 
functions which are created with "CREATE FUNCTION".

Has anyone out there created one?

Dave

Dave,

Are you talking about stored procedures? Look like you need to register 
the procedure. 

Here's a procedure I just created this morning:

CREATE PROCEDURE SCANMEMO(IN     CASENUMBER  CHAR(9),
INOUT  RC          CHAR(1))
LANGUAGE RPGLE
MODIFIES SQL DATA
EXTERNAL NAME SRCS01/IDR197B
GENERAL 

There's a brief (but useful) sample in the "Sorcerer's Guide" redbook. I 
believe there are also samples in the ODBC programmers guide.

I am attempting to create an SQL function.  I can create the function 
but whenever I try to use it, I get the error "SQL0204 - RTVDOW in *LIBL 
type *N

not found.".

I tried creating the function in QGPL and ensured that QGPL was in my 
library list, but still get the same error.
     
The SQL manuals do not have any examples on creating functions using RPGLE 
(which is what I'm using). Any ideas?
     
Thanks,
Dave
