I created a function, but when i try to invoke it, i got SQLCODE = -440
it's really wierd.
e.g. The DDL:

Code:
CREATE FUNCTION MYTEST (CHAR(12), CHAR(4), CHAR(4), CHAR(8)) RETURNS   
  CHAR(10) SPECIFIC FT_F_GET_BK_CURR EXTERNAL NAME 'ABCTEST' LANGUAGE   
  C NOT DETERMINISTIC PARAMETER STYLE DB2SQL FENCED RETURNS NULL ON     
  NULL INPUT READS SQL DATA NO EXTERNAL ACTION SCRATCHPAD NO FINAL     
  CALL DISALLOW PARALLEL NO DBINFO NO collid  WLM ENVIRONMENT           
  DBDGWLM4 ASUTIME NO LIMIT STAY RESIDENT NO PROGRAM TYPE MAIN         
  SECURITY DB2 STOP AFTER SYSTEM DEFAULT FAILURES INHERIT SPECIAL       
  REGISTERS;   


the create succeed, and I can query it from sysibm.sysroutines catalog table, the schema is my ID.

But when i try invoke the function, e.g. SQL:
Code:
SELECT MYTEST('AAA','BBB','CCC','DDD') FROM SYSIBM.SYSDUMMY1;


it return:
Code:
SQLCODE = -440, ERROR:  NO FUNCTION BY THE NAME MYTEST HAVING   
COMPATIBLE ARGUMENTS WAS FOUND IN THE CURRENT PATH             

Does anyone have idea about it? Anything wrong with the CREATE FUNCTION DDL?

I dunno but you define your p1st parm as CHAR(12) but only supply a CHAR(3) parm and so on for the other parameters. Just a guess, but SQL can be picky.

videlord,

You might wanna check this which talks about qualified vs Unqualified funtions

I found the resean
If I change all function parameters from CHAR to VARCHAR,
it will work.

but it's really stupied why DB2 can't find the function for CHAR parameter
even I can't invoke it by
Code:
SELECT MYTEST('123456789012','BBBB',
                     'CCCC','12345678')
                  FROM SYSIBM.SYSDUMMY1;


i know dynamical SQL will read the string parameter as VARCHAR, but when I invoke the funtion in program (the parameter will be the host language variable), it will failed at BIND too.
