Re: SQL UDF not found?

Try checking the file QSYS2/SYSROUTINE to see if the function is named
correctly.

Subject:    SQL UDF not found?


I am trying to write a very simple SQL UDF from an RPGLE module in a
SRVPGM.  I've registered the function ALPHAITEM which is same name as the
subprocedure exported in the module, but I am consistently getting the
error message "ALPHAITEM in *LIBL type *N not found." when I try to execute
the following SQL from STRSQL and from an SQLRPGLE program:

select ALPHAITEM(s20prd)
from rsp200 where s20cmp = 'B1'

Below is the code with the steps I followed to create the service program
and register the SQL function.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
BTW, I have read the following article which was helpful in getting me
started:

*************************************************************************
      * Compile Instructions

*------------------------------------------------------------------------
      * 1. Create RPGLE module from this source member:
      *    CRTRPGMOD MODULE(ISSBDP/ALPHAITEM) SRCFILE(ISSBDP/QRPGLESRC)
      *              SRCMBR(ALPHAITEM)
      *
      * 2. Create/update SQLUDF service program in ISSBDP with this module:
      *    CRTSRVPGM SRVPGM(ISSBDP/SQLUDF) MODULE(ISSBDP/ALPHAITEM)
      *              EXPORT(*ALL)
      *
      * 3. Register this function by executing the following in STRSQL:
      *    CREATE FUNCTION ISSBDP/ALPHAITEM(INT) RETURNS CHAR(15)
      *    LANGUAGE RPGLE
      *    DETERMINISTIC
      *    NO SQL
      *    RETURNS NULL ON NULL INPUT
      *    NO EXTERNAL ACTION ALLOW PARALLEL
      *    SIMPLE CALL
      *    EXTERNAL NAME 'ISSBDP/SQLUDF(ALPHAITEM)'

*************************************************************************
      * Procedure prototypes

*------------------------------------------------------------------------
      * AlphaItem function
      *   returns the alphanumeric representation of a numeric item so that
it
      *   contains at least 4-digits (ex: 23 -> '0023', 5603 -> '5603')
     d AlphaItem       pr            15a
     d   numItem                     10p 0

           Result = '0' + %char(numItem);
         other;
           Result = %char(numItem);
       endsl;

       return Result;
