Rob,

How did you resolve the constants issue?  I think that's what is getting me.
I finally got it to work with a definition of 1 parm dec(8,0).

What I really want is cvtdte (dec(8,0), char(5), char(5))....  That way I
can call it like this cvtdte(fieldname, '*MDY', '*ISO').  When I add the
second and third parms I get the not found message again.

Rick

Exact parameter matching is important, and not just the number of
parameters.  I always had a bear of a time trying to use these by passing
in constants.  You know, like
Select filename.fld1, MyUdf('A',filename.fld2) from mylib/myfile filename
