Hi Donald,

as I already pointed out a UD(T)F is quite different from a stored
procedure.
A UDF (Scalar or Table) MUST have a return value.
A stored procedure will never have a return value (except result sets!).
In contrary to stored procedures only input parameter can be specified.

Your stored procedure has no return value. 
That's why you get the decimal data error on the return value.
And I assume you'll never get returned your output parameters.

Betreff: RE: Accessing Service Programs from .NET

I've been playing with UDTF's, too and haven't had much luck.  It keeps
telling me the function isn't found (see below).
create function AFUNCTION
(Parm1 CHAR (10), Parm2 CHAR (1),                 
Parm3 CHAR (10), Parm4 CHAR (7),                  
Parm5 CHAR (100)) RETURNS dec (4,0)                  
language RPGLE is DETERMINISTIC                                 
NO SQL EXTERNAL NAME 'MYLIB/MYPGM(AFUNCTION)'  

select AFUNCTION('PARMVALUE', 'Y', ' ', ' ', ' ') from sysibm/sysdummy1
           
The service program exists and the function exists in the service program.
What am I missing?

Thanks.

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