I don't know, but you might have found a better answer on midrange-l.

SQL allows you to 'overload' subprocedures.  Thus you can multiple
subprocedures with the same name, but have different parameters.  In that
same file you queried there are columns for number and types of
parameters:  IN, OUT, INOUT.  However, if these are equal but there are
other differences in the parameters, (like the first parameter might be a
date, character or a numeric), then these might not show in these columns.
 However they might show in the parameter signature.  But how to interpret
that is anyone's guess.

I need to change a SQL stored procedure but when I go to DROP PROCEDURE it
says:



 Message . . . . :   Function WB04025 in ALLSTSRC not unique.

 Cause . . . . . :   Function WB04025 in ALLSTSRC was specified, not by

   signature or specific name, and more than one specific instance of the

   function was found.

 Recovery  . . . :   Request the function either by it's specific name, or
by
   the function signature (function name with parameter types). Try the
request
   again.



If I look in the SYSPROCS file (select * from sysprocs) it shows these 2
entries:

SPECIFIC_NAME    ROUTINE_NAME

WB04025                 WB04025
WB04000002            WB04025

what is the syntax for differentiating between the two?

in the DB2 for OS/400 SQL reference it mentions a dot notation
(WB04025.WB04025) but sql says that ',' is an invalid token.  I tried
slashes also to no avail.

I'm assuming that the WB0400002 is the one created when I ran the program
that creates it before I remembered to drop the first one but now I can't
get either one of them to drop.

I even resorted to firing up Operations Navigator (<insert groan of
disgust
here>) and tried deleting them from there but I get the same message.

So I'm stuck.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
