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?

Thanks,
Charles
