RE: SQL date comparison - a better way?

[Kevin Mohondro <kevin.mohondro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Try the create function again but, remove the RCHEVA1 off of the function
name on the first line. When placed in that location, SQL sees it as a
schema not a library. It should remain on the external name.

BTW, you can see any of your registered UDFs by querying the QSYS2/SYSFUNCS
file.
