Birgitta,



This is a function... I am using it in an SQL Select statement within an SQL view - selecting it like field.

SELECT

DFT_WHS,

CLT.COM_NBR,

CLT.COM_NAME,

WHS_NBR,

RF.PICKER,

RF.STD_LPH,

RF.RDS_LPH,

ODORD# AS ORD_NBR,

ODREL# AS REL_NBR,

COUNT(ODCTT#) AS LINES,

PIK_DATE,

PIK_TIME,

ASTHHOBJ.TBF_SHIPBYDATE(PIK_DATE, PIK_TIME,PTY_CODE),

PTY_CODE,

PTY_DESC





FROM...



I created this function years ago (maybe 8 or 9).

It references an RPG procedure (TBF_ShipbyDate) in a SRVPGM called TBFUTILR4

This procedure calls another procedure inside the same SRVPGM which uses SQL



My problem is that I cannot find any reference to it on our system - even though it is still functioning.



I hesitate to re-create it for fear of breaking it, and the views that use it.



Is there a way to "recover" the SQL statement that created the function?



Thx,

Greg

But I cannot find anything using the Database Management tool in ACS.

You have to register your RPG-Function as an external Function.

Something like this:



CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION ASTHHOBJ.TBF_SHIPBYDATE (

PARDATE DATE ,

PARTIME TIME,

PARCODE VARCHAR(3))

RETURNS DATE

LANGUAGE RPGLE

SPECIFIC YOURNAME

EXTERNAL NAME 'YOURLIB/YOURSRVPGM(YOURRPGFUNCTION)' ;



BTW in SQL there is a difference between Function and Procedure.

A (stored) procedure can have input and output parameters and return a result set, but must be called with the SQL CALL Statement.

A (user defined) function has a return value and only input parameters. It can be called within a SQL Select-Statement or INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE ...

like any scalar function.

Subject: Help with SQL Procedure



I'm losing my mind...







I have an SQL view that references a procedure (function) in one of my RPG service programs. I'm fairly certain at some point I had to create an SQL procedure/function to access the RPG function from within a view. But I cannot find anything using the Database Management tool in ACS.







Shouldn't I be able to find an SQL Procedure or Function in the same library?







One of the columns selected in my view is ASTHHOBJ.TBF_SHIPBYDATE(PIK_DATE, PIK_TIME,PTY_CODE),







This returns a Date based on the parameters passed in.



Even if I click on "All Database Objects" in this library, I do not see anything named "TBF_SHIPBYDATE".











My user profile has *ALLOBJ authority (I would have created the objects

anyway)



I can see the procedure referenced when I regenerate the SQL source from the view object.



I tried RCLDBXREF OPTION(*FIX) for that library (as Charles suggested in the RPG group).







What am I missing?







TIA,



Greg
