Hi, 

a function always needs a return value, a stored procedure never!
Stored procedures can have input AND output parameters, while you only can
pass input parameters to functions. In functions all output parameters must
be returned as return value.
Returning a result set is not the same as returning a variable.
(i.e. A result set cannot be directly read from SQLRPGLE, it's only possible
by using CLI-APIs)

An alternative might be using UDTF (user defined table functions), but
Creation and calling UDTFs are quite different from calling STORED
PROCEDURES.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

No you're not mistaken, but how about:

Select function(parm,parm,parm) from sysibm/sysdummy1


SysIBM/SysDummy1 is a file IBM supplies that has one row and one column.
Very useful for doing SQL things that don't involve "real" data.
