Glenn,
This procedure was running without problems on our V5R3 system.
But I'll give it a shot and drop/create it with "numeric(10, 0)" instead of (8, 0).

Hi Peter,
I'm not at a computer to test but could it be that your procedure is returning a numeric 8,0 and your %dec says 10,0?

Subject: SQL UDF problem
Hi group,
Yesterday evening we migrated (finally) from our V5R3 system to a brand new enterprise system at V7R1.
All seemed well until I tried to use a UDF in SQL this morning. It takes in a date in numeric ISO format, and should return a date in excel format (# of days since 01/01/1900).
However, it always returns zero.
I re-created the function using the following syntax:
create function colpaerp.isotoexcel(decimal(8, 0)) returns numeric(8, 0) external name 'SRVPGMLIB/SQLUDF(ISOTOEXCEL)'
language rpgle
parameter style db2sql
no sql
deterministic
no external action
returns null on null input
allow parallel;
This is the source of the function in the service program:
P IsoToexcel b Export
d IsoToExcel pi 8s 0
d IsoDate 8p 0 const
D Xls_StartDate S D inz(d'1900-01-01')
D retVal s 8s 0 inz
/free
Reset retVal;
test(de) *iso IsoDate;
If %error;
Else;
If IsoDate > *zeros;
retVal = %diff(%date(IsoDate:*iso):xls_startdate:*d) + 2;
EndIf;
Endif;
Return %dec(retVal:10:0);
/end-free
p IsoToExcel e
When I debugged the function, the retVal contained the correct value, but in the SQL result it was zero.
Is there a difference between V5R3 and V7R1 when creating the function?
FWIW, the V5 system was first restored on a new V6 system, which was subsequently upgraded to V7.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
