Subject Problem Finding UDF dll
Author dan@bnfc.com
Hello All,

I just ran a script on my production Server (InterBase 6.0) to
declare the functions for FreeUDFLib. They all show up as
registered UDFsin QuickDesk, but when I go to use them, the server
claims not to be able to find the module name or entrypoint.

Some other salient facts:

My test server (FB 1.0B2) finds the udf functions with no problem
I did not install IB 6.0 on the production server in the default
location.
When I went to look for a "udf" directory under my IB6 install
directory there wasn't one. So, I made one and put the
FreeUDFLib.dll file in there.
I also tried putting the dll in the bin and root directories for the
server with no luck.

Here is a sample of the DDL used to declare the functions:

DECLARE EXTERNAL FUNCTION F_RTRIM
CSTRING (254)
RETURNS CSTRING (254)
ENTRY_POINT 'rTrim' MODULE_NAME 'FreeUDFLib.dll';

Is it necessary to re-start ibserver.exe after registering the udfs?

Thanks,

Dan
