Dear folks,
Is it possible? We are getting a error message from QA.
Let me know any thought/idea/link about this.

From the BOL
The types of statements that are valid in a function include:
a.. DECLARE statements can be used to define data variables and cursors
that are local to the function.
b.. Assignments of values to objects local to the function, such as using
SET to assign values to scalar and table local variables.
c.. Cursor operations that reference local cursors that are declared,
opened, closed, and deallocated in the function. FETCH statements that
return data to the client are not allowed. Only FETCH statements that assign
values to local variables using the INTO clause are allowed.
d.. Control-of-flow statements.
e.. SELECT statements containing select lists with expressions that assign
values to variables that are local to the function.
f.. UPDATE, INSERT, and DELETE statements modifying table variables that
are local to the function.
g.. EXECUTE statements calling an extended stored procedure.
So it looks like you can call extended sprocs, but not local sprocs.

you include the logic from your procedure in the UDF?

HTH, jens Suessmeyer.|||Have not tried it, but couldn't you call a clr sproc from a clr UDF?
