Unfortunately the OS does not differentiate between Numeric(6,0) and Numeric(8,0). It considers them both to be just Numeric when it builds parameter signature. -----Original Message----- From: midrange-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:midrange-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of CWilt@xxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, June 25, 2004 12:22 PM To: midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: SQL UDF naming limitation? Having problems overloading an SQL UDF using the specific keyword: I can create this one: create function CvtToDate(indte Char(6)) returns Date specific CvtCharMDYtoDate then this one: create function CvtToDate(indte Numeric(8,0)) returns Date specific CvtNumISOtoDate but when I try to create this one it fails: create function CvtToDate(indte Numeric(6,0)) returns Date specific CvtNumMDYtoDate the error I get is SQL0454 - Routine CVTTODATE in DVPMELCW already exists. If I change the specific name to CvtMDYnumToDate it works fine. If I drop the CvtToDate(numeric(8,0)) it works also. Is there some limitation to the length of the specific name used?
