RE: SQL User Defined Functions

Richard,

Many moons ago at another employer, I created a UDF that called a the program that calculated a
customer's price on an item.

The original need was to allow me to create a item catalog (PDF of an MS Access report via a pass
through query, was quick and pretty ;) for the customer containing his actual price for items.

A few years ago, we created an Extranet site for the same employer.

Guess how many screens used that same UDF! <grin>

Actually the Extranet used quite a few UDFs to tie back into the green screen app.

Subject: SQL User Defined Functions

Is anybody else wrapping RPG logic into SQL user defined
functions or stored procedures on the iSeries/Systemi ?

This is a powerful way to bring RPG logic into a reporting
tool, web app or desktop application.

I recently did a project for a new document management
customer where we were able to extend our WebDocs security by
simply creating a user defined function that tied into their
business application to determine additional document
permissions. One little service program, an additional WHERE
clause and viola !!

I would be interested in hearing your usage of these capabilities.
