<div><p>In this example, you want the FINDSTRING function
to work on BLOBs as well as on CLOBs. To do this, you define another FINDSTRING
taking BLOB as the first parameter: </p>
<div class="section"><pre> <strong>CREATE FUNCTION</strong> FINDSTRING (<strong>BLOB</strong>(500K), <strong>VARCHAR</strong>(200))
<strong>RETURNS INTEGER</strong>
<strong>CAST FROM FLOAT</strong>
<strong>SPECIFIC</strong> FINDSTRING_BLOB
<strong>EXTERNAL NAME</strong> 'MYLIB/MYPGM(FINDSTR)'
<strong>LANGUAGE C
PARAMETER STYLE DB2SQL
NO SQL
DETERMINISTIC
NO EXTERNAL ACTION
RETURNS NULL ON NULL INPUT</strong></pre>
</div>
<div class="section"><p>This example illustrates overloading of the UDF name and shows
that multiple UDFs can share the same program. Note that although a BLOB
cannot be assigned to a CLOB, the same source code can be used. There is
no programming problem in the above example as the interface for BLOB and
CLOB between DB2<sup>®</sup> and
the UDF program is the same: length followed by data.</p>
