XMLROW is a reserved word in SQL, try to embed it in double quotes: "XMLROW" (or use a different name)

Subject: Referencing fields from a UDTF
In this example of a UDTF, it shows using it by referring to the fields it returns:
CREATE FUNCTION DEPTEMPLOYEES (DEPTNO VARCHAR(3))
RETURNS TABLE (EMPNO CHAR(6),
LASTNAME VARCHAR(15),
FIRSTNAME VARCHAR(12))
LANGUAGE SQL
READS SQL DATA
NO EXTERNAL ACTION
DETERMINISTIC
RETURN
SELECT EMPNO, LASTNAME, FIRSTNME FROM EMPLOYEE
WHERE EMPLOYEE.WORKDEPT = DEPTEMPLOYEES.DEPTNO
The following is a SELECT statement that makes use of DEPTEMPLOYEES:
SELECT EMPNO, LASTNAME, FIRSTNAME FROM TABLE(DEPTEMPLOYEES('A00')) AS D
When I try something similar with my own UDTF,
create or replace function XMLFMTLOG
(varchar(64))
returns table
(
XMLrow varchar(2048)
)
language rpgle
parameter style db2sql
no sql
not deterministic
disallow parallel
external name 'QGPL/SVCSQL(XMLFMTLOG)';
it fails with
Keyword FROM not expected. Valid tokens: (.
select XMLrow
from table(xmlfmtlog(
'PROXY_2020-06-02-09.43.38.964000_log.txt')) x
It works just fine if I use
select *
from table(xmlfmtlog(
'PROXY_2020-06-02-09.43.38.964000_log.txt')) x
What am I doing wrong?
