Depends on what Naming convention you are using in the environment where you
create the function.
1. SQL Naming Function --> the object is created in the Default/Current
Schema.
If a current schema is not set (SET CURRENT SCHEMA) the object will be
created in the library with the same name as the current user profile (if it
exists)
2. System Naming Conventions
If a current schema is set, the database object is created in the
current schema (BTW library list is no longer searched)
If a CURLIB is set (CL Command CHGCURLIB), the database object is
created in the current library
If neither a current schema nor a current library is set, the database
object will be created in the QGPL.
