Far too much code for me to take the time to read and understand it.

Suffice it to say that unless you are being paid by the hour ... I still can't understand the point of anything more than a simple:

SELECT .....

FROM .......
WHERE ...... Then rather than using a function return the three values as OUT parameters from a stored proc.
