RE: Creating an SQL function

[Alan Shore <AlanShore@xxxxxxxx>]

Again - thanks Elvis
When I saw what your response was to my problem, I thought, well DUH, of
course
anyway, I tried your suggestion and the response I got was,
Conversion error on assignment to column AVAIL.
When I F1'ed it
Message ID . . . . . . :   SQL0406       Severity . . . . . . . :   30
Message type . . . . . :   Diagnostic
Message . . . . :   Conversion error on assignment to column AVAIL.
Cause . . . . . :   During an attempt to assign a value to column AVAIL
with
  an INSERT, UPDATE, ALTER TABLE, or REFRESH TABLE statement, conversion
error
  type 6 occurred. If precompiling, the error occurred when converting a
  numeric constant to the same attributes as column AVAIL. A list of the
error
  types follows:
    -- Error type 1 is overflow.
    -- Error type 2 is floating point overflow.
    -- Error type 3 is floating point underflow.
    -- Error type 4 is a floating point conversion error.
    -- Error type 5 is not an exact result.
    -- Error type 6 is numeric data that is not valid.
    -- Error type 7 is DBCS data that is not valid.

Which makes some sense, when you think back to the results of my first
attempt, when I received ++++++++++

Try adding a column alias to the function call, i.e.:

CREATE TABLE tempTable AS
      (SELECT SUFFIX, SKUNO, AVAILQTY(SUFFIX, SKUNO) AS AVAILQTY
       FROM ITEMMSTR
       WHERE SUFFIX = '0011' AND SKUNO = '000070')
WITH DATA

Thanks for your reply Elvis
I tried what you suggested, but the only thing I got was
Column list required.
with the cursor on AVAILQTY
