Re: sql function - routine not found when ACTGRP(*NEW)

I dropped the function and the underlying program, then created the sql
function, etc. When I look at sysibm.routines the parm_style is SQL and
the External_name is the program I created.

good to know that SQL wants to execute a service program procedure. I
can live with the behavior.

thanks,

May be the service program / UDF is not created at all if the underlying
program must run in a *NEW activation group.
Did you check whether the UDF (with the underlying program in activation
group *NEW) exists?

I'm not sure why it would matter for finding it, but I would note that I
would usually use ACTGRP(*CALLER) over ACTGRP(*NEW) to improve
performance
by not having to create a new activation group all the time.

does the activation group of a program matter when creating an SQL
function?

I am getting a "routine not found with specified parameters" error
when
using an SQL function, where the program was created with
ACTGRP(*NEW).
When I CRTPGM pgmname ACTGRP(QILE), the sql function works.

CRTPGM PGM(utl0033MC) ACTGRP(*new)

select utl_currentUser( ) user
from sysibm/sysdummy1
Routine UTL0033MC in QGPL not found with specified parameters.

do this and the sql function works:
CRTPGM PGM(utl0033MC) ACTGRP(QILE)

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION utl_currentUser ( )
RETURNS char(10)
language cl
external name qgpl/utl0033mc
parameter style SQL

PGM (&curUser &rtnNull &SqlState +
&function &specific &errmsg)

dcl &curUser *char 10
dcl &rtnNull *int 2
dcl &sqlstate *char 5
dcl &function *char 517
dcl &specific *char 130
dcl &errmsg *char 72
