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,
