Re: Creating a SQL UDF

Hi Robert,

How do you know WORKLB is in your library list?
In your exec sql set option, do you have "naming=*sys" ?

Glenn Gundermann

I have a service program (SYSRVUTL) with the following procedure in it:



D Remove_Non_AlphaNumeric...

D pr 65535a varying opdesc

D inData 65535a const varying

D inCompress n const



I want to create a UDF to use this procedure in embedded SQL, but so far
I have been unsuccessful. I have tried numerous times creating the
function with slight variations and each time it appears to create. But
when I try and run it in an SQL Select, it comes back and tells me the
function is not found in *LIBL. I now it was created in a library that
is in my library list.



This was my last attempt at creating:



CREATE FUNCTION WORKLB/REMOVE_NON_ALPHANUMERIC

(INDATA VARCHAR(32740), COMPRESS CHAR(1))

RETURNS VARCHAR(32740)

LANGUAGE RPGLE

DETERMINISTIC

NO SQL

RETURNS NULL ON NULL INPUT

EXTERNAL NAME 'WORKLB/SYSRVUTL(REMOVE_NON_ALPHANUMERIC)'

PARAMETER STYLE GENERAL



Anyone have any suggestions? I am sure it is simple, but this is my
first attempt at creating a UDF.



Thanks,

Robert J. Mullis
