Re: Error using a function

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

Sweet mama that was it!

I ran
drop function onhand
a couple of times to make sure it was good and dead.  Then I ran
create function ROB3/ONHAND (dec (11,3), dec (11,3), dec (11,3),
                        dec (11,3))
returns dec (11,3)
language rpgle
deterministic
no sql
returns null on null input
no external action allow parallel
simple call
external name 'ROB3/INVENTORY(ONHAND)'

Now when I do
Select iprod, iopb, iadj, irct, iiss,
       ONHAND(iopb,iadj,irct,iiss)
from iim
It works slick.

Thank you Simon!  And thanks to the rest of you for your efforts!

Now, I'll update my pmr to get them to change their misleading error
message.

Hello Rob,

My guess as to the problem.  I suspect that SQL respects case in order
support languages like C and Java.  RPG does not respect case so I think
"external name 'ROB/INVENTORY(OnHand)'" is causing in SQL to look for a
procedure called OnHand when the service program has really exported
ONHAND.  Try changing "external name 'ROB/INVENTORY(OnHand)'" to "external
name 'ROB/INVENTORY(ONHAND)'

Regards,
Simon Coulter.
