How do I qualify a function or procedure call to indicate that it should be at global scope? I have my own scn_to_timestamp() in a package that needs to call the default global function of the same name.

Many TIA!

    create or replace package px as

        function scn_to_timestamp(scn number) return timestamp;     end px;

    create or replace package body px as

        function scn_to_timestamp(scn number) return timestamp is
        begin
            -- how do I qualify this to refer to the global function?
            return scn_to_timestamp(scn);
        end;

    end px;
