<h1 class="topictitle1">Example: AVG over a UDT</h1>
<div><p>This example implements the AVG column function over the CANADIAN_DOLLAR
distinct type.</p>
<div class="section"><p>Strong
typing prevents you from using the built-in AVG function on a distinct type.
It turns out that the source type for CANADIAN_DOLLAR was DECIMAL, and so
you implement the AVG by sourcing it on the AVG(DECIMAL) built-in function.</p>
<pre> <strong>CREATE FUNCTION</strong> AVG (CANADIAN_DOLLAR)
<strong>RETURNS</strong> CANADIAN_DOLLAR
<strong>SOURCE</strong> "QSYS2".<strong>AVG</strong>(<strong>DECIMAL</strong>(9,2))</pre>
</div>
<div class="section"><p>Note that in the SOURCE clause you have qualified the function
name, just in case there might be some other AVG function lurking in your
SQL path. </p>
