User Defined Function

[Racerx]

Hi All:

I created a function which i need to modify now.
I tried the alter function command but it throws the following error
message:

db2 =alter function DB2INST1.*/*/(**(),**()) not fenced
DB21034E The command was processed as an SQL statement because it was
not a
valid Command Line Processor command. During SQL processing it
returned:
SQL0658N The object "DB2INST1.*/*/" cannot be explicitly dropped or
altered. SQLSTATE=42917

Is dropping the function and creating it again the only solution?
Can anyone suggest me a solution to this.
Regards,
Racerx

That's what the user response to message SQL0658 says...

*/*/(**(),**()) ????
Is this some sort of swear word?
I guess you'll need to as least double quote the sucker:
"*/*/(**(),**())". In DB2 9 we we support 128 character function names.
I'm sure you can find a reasonable alpha-numeric name....
