PLS-00251: RETURN, for actual function return, must be last in the parameters clause..

Answer / guest

Cause: RETURN specification for the actual function return,
used within the parameters clause must hold the very last
position. Example : The following will give this error since
the RETURN specification for the actual function return in
the parameters clause is not the last. FUNCTION
myexternalfunc (var1 BINARY_INTEGER, var2 BINARY_INTEGER)
RETURN BINARY_INTEGER IS EXTERNAL NAME "myexternalfunc"
LIBRARY somelib PARAMETERS (var1 LONG, var2 SHORT, RETURN
INT, RETURN INDICATOR SHORT); The correct syntax is the
following. Note that RETURN for actual function return is
the last specification in the parameters clause. FUNCTION
myexternalfunc (var1 BINARY_INTEGER, var2 BINARY_INTEGER)
RETURN BINARY_INTEGER IS EXTERNAL NAME "myexternalfunc"
LIBRARY somelib PARAMETERS (var1 LONG, var2 SHORT, RETURN
INDICATOR SHORT, RETURN INT);

Action: Correct the syntax of the RETURN specification in
the parameters clause
