Re: Specify null parameter for SQL UDF

Hi Elvis,
I was considering using PARAMETER STYLE DB2GENERAL, but the SQL Reference manual says "DB2GENERAL is only allowed when the LANGUAGE is JAVA." It also says "SCRATCHPAD is only allowed with PARAMETER STYLE DB2SQL or PARAMETER STYLE DB2GENERAL." but there is no PARAMETER STYLE DB2SQL, just PARAMETER STYLE SQL.
When I get some time I'll try PARAMETER STYLE SQL and ignore the SQL-related parameters.

Glad to see you have it all working Peter.

Just a note on the SCRATCHPAD, as I've used it successfully in the past.
SCRATCHPAD is only allowed with PARAMETER STYLE DB2SQL or PARAMETER STYLE
DB2GENERAL and you're using GENERAL WITH NULLS.
Changing your existing functions to match one of these two parameter styles
would take some doing but may be worthwhile if you think performance will be
an issue.
