User-defined Function Basics
User-defined functions, like the built-in functions, are not associated with a specific report definition. Therefore, you must use parameters instead of direct table and field references in the UDF expression. Parameters pass actual values from the database or user-defined fields into the UDF expression. This indirection allows you to use the UDF with multiple reports.
When you create a UDF, Report Builder saves it in a file called
prorb.udf
. By default, Report Builder attempts to createprorb.udf
in the Report Builder program directory. For information on how to placeprorb.udf
in a different location, see "Report Builder Administration."
