<div><p>When an error is encountered when processing a UDF, the system
follows a specified model.</p>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Table function error processing</h4><p>The error processing
model for table function calls is as follows: </p>
</div>
<div class="section"> <ol><li>If FIRST call fails, no further calls are made.</li>
<li>If FIRST call succeeds, the nested OPEN, FETCH, and CLOSE calls are made,
and the FINAL call is always made.</li>
<li>If OPEN call fails, no FETCH or CLOSE call is made.</li>
<li>If OPEN call succeeds, then FETCH and CLOSE calls are made.</li>
<li>If a FETCH call fails, no further FETCH calls are made, but the CLOSE
call is made.</li>
</ol>
</div>
<div class="section"> <div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> This model describes the ordinary error processing for table
UDFs. In the event of a system failure or communication problem, a call indicated
by the error processing model may not be made. </div>
</div>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Scalar function error processing</h4><p>The error processing
model for scalar UDFs, which are defined with the FINAL CALL specification,
is as follows: </p>
</div>
<div class="section"> <ol><li>If FIRST call fails, no further calls are made. </li>
<li>If FIRST call succeeds, then further NORMAL calls are made as warranted
by the processing of the statement, and a FINAL call is always made.</li>
<li>If NORMAL call fails, no further NORMAL calls are made, but the FINAL
call is made (if you have specified FINAL CALL). This means that if an error
is returned on a FIRST call, the UDF must clean up before returning, because
no FINAL call will be made. </li>
</ol>
