Re: Error using a function

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

create function ROB3/OnHand (dec (11,3), dec (11,3), dec (11,3),
                        dec (11,3))
returns dec (11,3)
...

DSPLYT IIM
IADJ            48      53  P11.3
IRCT            54      59  P11.3
IISS            60      65  P11.3
IOPB            66      71  P11.3

11.3 not 11.2, looks like a good match to me.  It's not a packed issue eh?

And I read that part you referenced in the SQL reference about using
different functions based on the typing.

if I remember correctly, you defined the function with all four fields and
the return declared as dec(11,2). So... what are the attributes of the four
fields you pass in to the function? I had the same problem with the first
function I wrote... SQL _so_ strongly typed on the fields definitions, that
if any of those fields are, say, numeric or integer, the function will NOT
be called. Since the function appears to be there and the list is probably
not the problem, I would double check the typing.

because DB2 is leaning towards objects now, you will find that you can
create the same function with different parameter types. The signature is
generated along the lines of C++ functions.
