BINGO

Holy crap

I thought I read somewhere that DECIMAL and NUMERIC were somewhat interchangeable
Well - I guess not - 10 dope laps to me on this one

I want to thank EVERYONE who replied on this

This is what I ended up with
CREATE FUNCTION PRODPA.EBSCST (
CHAR(4),
CHAR(6),
CHAR(2),
NUMERIC(2, 0),
CHAR(2),
CHAR(1),
CHAR(2) )
RETURNS NUMERIC(21, 6)
LANGUAGE RPGLE
SPECIFIC PRODPA.EBSCST
DETERMINISTIC
NO SQL
NO EXTERNAL ACTION
DISALLOW PARALLEL
NOT FENCED
EXTERNAL NAME 'PRODPA/ITMMSTSP(GETSTDCOST)'
PARAMETER STYLE GENERAL

I am having the EXACT same problem
Here is my function
CREATE FUNCTION PRODPA.EBSCST (
CHAR(4),
CHAR(6),
CHAR(2),
DECIMAL(2, 0),
CHAR(2),
CHAR(1),
CHAR(2) )
RETURNS DECIMAL(21, 6)
LANGUAGE RPGLE
SPECIFIC PRODPA.EBSCST
DETERMINISTIC
NO SQL
RETURNS NULL ON NULL INPUT
NOT FENCED
EXTERNAL NAME 'PRODPA/ITMMSTSP(GETSTDCOST)'
PARAMETER STYLE GENERAL

As someone pointed out - I forgot to commit after creating this - yet
another Homer Simpson episode

Here is the module in the service program

P GetStdCost b export

D GetStdCost pi 21s 6
D Suffix 4A const
D Skuno 6A const
D LblCode 2A const
D Prefix 2S 0 const
D UOM 2A const
D EnvCode 1A const
D Type 2A const


You are using DECIMAL definitions in your function but using S
(zoned) definitions in your PI. Change your function to use NUMERIC definitions.


Sincerely,

Dave Clark
