Re: Help on Procedure running external function

1. the function get_me_next_number is runing from this procedure (same
trans) but it's an external one ...
2. the second solution I'am using now (using temp a table to store each
maxnrdoc value - but the temp table give me sometimes a relation with OID
##### does not exist - problem that I can only solve by using only
execute - but I don't think I can ...?! :))
here is the example:

create temp table MagMaxNrBon
(
magazie varchar(5),
MaxNrBon int8,
CONSTRAINT temp_magbon_pkey PRIMARY KEY (magazie)
);
...

select into vnrBon maxnrbon+1 from MagMaxNrBon where magazie =
dsgroup.magazie_implicita_lansare;
if vnrbon is null
then
select into vNrBon o_gen_calc_nr_doc from o_gen_calc_nr_doc('BC'
,vEmitent,dsgroup.magazie_implicita_lansare,dsMasterBon.dataBon);
insert into MagMaxNrBon values
(dsgroup.magazie_implicita_lansare,vNrBon);
else
update MagMaxNrBon set maxnrbon=vNrBon where magazie =
dsgroup.magazie_implicita_lansare;
end if;
...

and in this way vNrBon is correct one ... I will try to use oly execute on
insert,update and select on temp table MagMaxNrBon .... (o_gen_calc_nr_doc
is the "get_me_next_number" function)

thank you,
