Ok. Now I have working scalar UDFs to implement my "Display Value" conversion, and I've even got a VIEW that incorporates a call to it.

But here's something interesting (in the sense of "May you live in interesting times"):

Given my WHICHTBL function defined thusly:
create function whichtbl(i_fldid NUMERIC) returns varchar(3) language sql deterministic not fenced begin declare tbl char(11); declare tbl2 char(3); declare cur01 cursor for select TBLID from wtfldd where dfid = i_fldid; open cur01; fetch cur01 into tbl; close cur01; set tbl2 = tbl;
return tbl2; end

and my DISPLAYVAL function defined thusly:
create function displayval(i_fldid NUMERIC, i_key VARCHAR(5))
returns varchar(50) language sql deterministic not fenced begin declare result char(50); declare cur02 cursor for select DEF from WTTBLE where PTBLE = whichtbl(i_fldid) and PCODE = i_key and STBLE = ' ' and SCODE = ' '; open cur02; fetch cur02 into result; close cur02; return result; end

if I call the DISPLAYVAL function from either a stored procedure called from STRSQL, or a SELECT statement executed in STRSQL, or by opening the aforementioned VIEW from STRSQL, I get the expected (and desired) results, as long as WTFLDD and WTTBLE exist somewhere in my *LIBL.

But if I use SQuirreL SQL (which uses JDBC), any attempt to use the functions will result in this:
Error: [SQL0204] WTTBLE in *LIBL type *FILE not found.
SQLState: 42704
ErrorCode: -204

(I also get the same message if I try to use the UDF from STRSQL without the *LIBL set properly)

I've tried SET SCHEMA, and that doesn't seem to do a damned thing.

I'd like to have DISPLAYVAL automatically recognize, and use, whatever library is used for the data it's being fed.
