RE: DATE in MODULES type *SRVPGM not found.

Should have been more specific....in QSYS2 and SYSIBM

Thanks

Would someone point me in the right "documentation direction"? For an overview of the ROUTINE_NAMES functions...when found by

Select
substr(ROUTINE_NAME,1,20) as ROUTINE_NAME,
substr(ROUTINE_SCHEMA,1,20) as ROUTINE_SCHEMA

From SYSFUNCS

Just learning more .....

I'm an idiot... ;-D

Please disregard previous and use this :

Select
substr(ROUTINE_NAME,1,20) as ROUTINE_NAME,
substr(ROUTINE_SCHEMA,1,20) as ROUTINE_SCHEMA

From SYSFUNCS

where ROUTINE_NAME = 'CONVERTTODATE'

In what library was the function created?

Run a query on the SYSFUNCS table:

Select
substr(ROUNTINE_NAME,1,20) as ROUTINE_NAME,
substr(ROUTINE_SCHEMA_ as ROUTINE_SCHEMA

From SYSFUNCS

where ROUTINE_NAME = 'CONVERTTODATE'

If you don't have the ROUTINE_SCHEMA in your library list, you'll need to
qualify the function to the library where it lives.

I am following [this article](
http://www.mcpressonline.com/programming/rpg/using-rpg-in-sql.html) to
create a UDF. The only difference from the article is the names and the RPG
logic. When I tried to test it I get:

SELECT ConvertToDate(DDATE), DPERNO FROM PBMASTP
DATE in MODULES type *SRVPGM not found.

I know the path is correct and I have confirmed it to be correct. Here is
what the CREATE FUNCTION looks like:

CREATE FUNCTION CONVERTTODATE (
DATEIN DECIMAL(8, 0) )
RETURNS DATE
LANGUAGE RPGLE
SPECIFIC QMFILES.CONVERTTODATE
DETERMINISTIC
NO SQL
RETURNS NULL ON NULL INPUT
NO EXTERNAL ACTION
NOT FENCED
EXTERNAL NAME 'MODULES/DATE(ConvertToDate)'
PARAMETER STYLE SQL ;

Any thoughts? This is my first UDF I have tried to create.
