Hi All,
 
I am trying to figure out how to call one PLSQL function from another, specifically how to access the return values from the callee.
 
I made two test functions, A and B. A calls B.
 
B returns two values:   
                OUT tid integer
                OUT msg character varying
 
In caller function A, I do the following:
                SELECT B(1) INTO rec;       -- rec declared as a RECORD
                RAISE DEBUG 'XXX %   [%]', rec.tid, rec.msg;
The runtime error I got was:
 
                 ERROR: record "rec" has no field "tid"
                 SQL state: 42703
 
The full function code is below.
 
Thanks,
CYW
 
 
 
 
 
 
--------------------------------
FUNCTION B(IN id integer, OUT tid integer, OUT msg character varying)   RETURNS record AS BODY$
DECLARE
BEGIN
 msg := 'MSG';
 tid := 100;
 RETURN;
END;
 
FUNCTION A(IN x integer, IN "text" character varying, OUT whatever character varying)  RETURNS character varying AS $BODY$
DECLARE
 rec RECORD;
 tid int4;
 msg varchar;
BEGIN
 SELECT B(1) INTO rec;
 RAISE DEBUG 'XXX %   [%]', rec.tid, rec.msg;
 RETURN;
END;
