Re: AW: SQL UDF to return edited numeric field

[Jeff Young <cooljeff913@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Birgitta,
I have never created a UDF.
Would it be possible to point me to some examples of the SQL code needed?

Thanks again,

Subject: AW: SQL UDF to return edited numeric field

Hi,

just write an RPG function that edits a numeric value by using either the
built-in-function %EditC or %EditW.
Register this RPG function as UDF and call this UDF from SQL.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards

Betreff: SQL UDF to return edited numeric field

Does anyone have a UDF (or other SQL method) of taking a numeric field and 
returning a character value representing the value as edited via an edit
code or 
edit word in RPG?
I know that if I use CAST/SUBSTR/CONCAT that I can do this, but was looking
for 
a neater way.
Needs to be supported on V5R4 or earlier.

Thanks,
