Hi!

Is it possible do declare a stored procedure which would use a
non-existent external function? That is, I can define an external
function using:

declare external function test
returns integer
entry_point 'TEST' module_name 'pepak.dll'

This will succeed even if pepak.dll does not exist or does not export
function TEST. That's OK as long as I do not attempt to call that function.

Now I would like to create a stored procedure which would use that function:

create procedure test
returns ( a integer )
as
begin
a = test();
suspend;
end

But at this moment Firebird WILL check whether the function test exists
in pepak.dll and return an error if it does not. Is there some way to
suppress this error and create the procedure? I do not intend to use the
procedure until the application makes sure a required version of
pepak.dll is being used.

Thanks,

Pepak
