[ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ]
I am running into some weirdness. I am creating a view that includes a
column that uses the rand() function.
create view vern/fetchrand as select rand() rndnbr, orders.* from
tpch/orders
When I try to run SELECT against the view
select * from vern/fetchrand order by rndnbr
I get
Message ID . . . . . . : CPF426A Severity . . . . . . . : 50
Message type . . . . . : Escape
Date sent . . . . . . : 11/21/02 Time sent . . . . . . : 12:35:53
Message . . . . : User-defined function RAND cannot be invoked.
Cause . . . . . : External program or service program xxxxxxxxxx in library
xxxxxxxxxx associated with user-defined function RAND in library QSYS2
cannot be invoked for reason code 1. The reason codes and their meanings
follow:
1 -- The program is not found.
xxxxxxxxxx can be anything - mostly x'00' bytes.
Is there a known restriction (v5r1) that built-in functions cannot be used
in a view? I mean, rand() is not a user-defined function (defined by me,
anyway - it's probably handled the same way, although there appears to be
no external definition of it in QSYS2).
