Re: Calling a stored function from PROC

If it's a function, you have to assign it to a variable - you can't treat it like a procedure and ignore its return value, as you could in C. Try this:

EXEC SQL EXECUTE
DECLARE
/* your other declarations here */

   rc integer; /* we'll pretend ABC returns an int */ BEGIN
   rc := XYZ.ABC(:verA,:verAC);
END;
END-EXEC; -Tony-
