Re: SQL UDF help

Be sure to cast your variables correctly. SQL default types are not amenable to RPG variable types. Show us the definition of your DISPLAYVAL function.

Joe

I'm trying to write a UDF to convert from a "code" to a "display value."

I think I managed it,
Function DISPLAYVAL was created in MERCURY.
but I'm having trouble testing it (probably from not knowing what I'm doing)

I try
displayval(1001, '02')
and I get
Token DISPLAYVAL was not valid. Valid tokens: ( CL END GET SET CALL
I try
create procedure myproc3
begin
signal SQLSTATE '70000' set message_text = displayval(1001, '02')
end
and I get
Variable DISPLAYVAL not defined or not usable.
I'm obviously doing *something* wrong, but I haven't a clue *what*.
