Display Function

View a list of custom-defined functions available globally or to an application. If MaxL shows no application name next to a function in the display output, then that function is global (system-wide). This statement also returns the validation status of an application's local custom-defined function or functions. Minimum permission required: read.

Syntax

Use display function to display custom-defined functions in the following ways:

Keyword	Description
all	Display all custom-defined functions, including those registered on the application level (local) or on the system level (global).
on system	Display all custom-defined functions registered on the system (global). Does not include locally defined functions.
on application	Display all custom-defined functions registered with the specified application (local). Does not include globally defined functions.
<func-name>	Display a custom-defined function by name.

Output Columns

The columns returned for this statement are described as follows:

Column	Description
application	Application name(s).
function	Registered custom-defined function name(s), as defined by FUNC-NAME in the create function statement.
class	The java class before the method, as defined by JAVACLASS.METHOD in the create function statement.
method	The java method (at the end of the class), as defined by JAVACLASS.METHOD in the create function statement.
spec	Optional Essbase calculator-syntax specification string, as defined by CALC-SPEC-STRING in the create function statement.
comment	String as defined by COMMENT-STRING in the create function statement.
runtime	Values: TRUE or FALSE. Whether or not the custom-defined function was created with the runtime property.
state	The current state of the registered custom-defined function. Values: 0 = UNKNOWN. It is unknown whether the function is valid Java and is loaded into any application process. 1 = NOT_LOADED. The function is not loaded into any application process. You may have to refresh or restart the application in order to use this function. Or, the function may not be developed validly in Java. 2 = LOADED. The function is valid Java, and is loaded into at least one application process. 3 = OVERRIDDEN. The local (application) function is overridden by a global (system-wide) function of the same name.
