Order by is normally set from outside the UDTF.
If you really want to add a variable order by you may use a case clause:

Return (Select ....
Order By Case When Par1 = 1 and Par2 = 'ASC' Then Col1 End,
Case When Par1 = 1 and Par2 = 'DESC' then Col1 End Desc,
Case When Par1 = 2 and Par2 = 'ASC' Then Col2 End,
Case When Par1 = 2 and Par2 = 'DESC' Then Col2 End Desc)

Betreff: Flexible ORDER BY based on parameter in UDTF

Hi,

Is it possible use a variable or parameter value for setting an ORDER BY in
a UDTF?
I want to do something like the code below but having a hard time to achieve
this. IS it even doable?

Thanks,
-Arco

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION
Test_Udtf_01
(
peOrderBy01 INTEGER,
peOrderDir01 CHAR(10)
)
RETURNS TABLE (
var INTEGER,
str CHAR(20)
)
LANGUAGE SQL
READS SQL DATA
NO EXTERNAL ACTION
NOT DETERMINISTIC
DISALLOW PARALLEL
RETURN
(
SELECT * FROM LATERAL(VALUES
(1, 'Hello'), (3, 'Is'), (6, 'But'), (7, 'Nothing'),
(2, 'Everything'), (4, 'Just'), (5, 'Fine'), (8, 'Happens'))
AS TestTable(val, str)
ORDER BY peOrderBy01
) ;

SELECT * FROM TABLE
( Test_Udtf_01(
CAST(1 AS INTEGER), -- order by this column
CAST('ASC' AS CHAR(10)) -- order direction
)
) AS t ;

Executing this UDTF runs into errors:
CPF9898 UDF inlining error.
CPF4204 Internal failure occurred in query processor.
SQL0901 SQL system error.

Trying a variety of CASE statements in the ORDER BY clause, then it does
execute without error but does not order:

..repeated code..
ORDER BY CASE WHEN COALESCE(peOrderBy01, 0) <> 0 THEN peOrderBy01 ELSE
peOrderBy01 END

..repeated code..
ORDER BY CASE WHEN COALESCE(peOrderBy01, 1) = 1 THEN 1 ELSE 2 END

..repeated code..
ORDER BY (CAST(peOrderBy01 AS INTEGER))
