Mark,

I don't have much expertise with SQL functions but, don't
you need a "PARAMETER STYLE" clause?

subject: SQL Function

I have an external SQL Function written in RPG that's
giving me fits.

Box is V5R1. No SQL Development tools, so all is
RUNSQLSTM. The function
is an RPGLE SRVPGM, one sub-procedure that basically
returns a numeric
representation of an YYYYMMDD date which is the current
date - the number
of days passed. The service program works as written.
Here's what I used
to create the function.

DROP FUNCTION GETPRGDATE;
CREATE FUNCTION GETPRGDATE (INTEGER)
RETURNS INTEGER
EXTERNAL NAME 'ELTEXEDI/GETPRGDATE(GETPRGDATE)'
LANGUAGE RPGLE
NOT DETERMINISTIC
NO SQL;

Here's how I'm testing it.

create table qtemp/testtbl
(field1 integer not null,
field2 integer not null);
insert into qtemp/testtbl
values(1,GETPRGDATE(180));

Here is the result:

FIELD1 FIELD2
000001 1 0

Any idea what I'm missing?

Thanks,

Mark
