Guys,
Im trying to define a user defined function, but I don't want to specify the library that the external program lives in. According to the SQL reference this should be possible, by not qualifying the name of the external program with the library
Eg
CREATE FUNCTION COLINDEV/CVTDAT (DEC (8,0)) RETURNS DEC(8,0) LANGUAGE RPGLE NO SQL PARAMETER STYLE DB2SQL RETURNS NULL ON NULL INPUT NO EXTERNAL ACTION EXTERNAL NAME 'SQL0020' DETERMINISTIC FINAL CALL
In theory, this should create the function CVTDAT in my dev library, and should pick up the external program from the library list in effect at the time an SQL statement is run using this function, rather than having to hardcode the library name into the function!
But it does not work, I get this error message: SQL0449 - External program name for routine SQL0020 in BERUSRPGM not valid
Don't know why, the manual says this should be ok!
Cheers Colin.W
