Hi,

In XI simple function means GUI function which are SAP provides bt default.User define function means you have to write code in using ABAP,JAVA,XSLT.In UDF you can handle exception that is not in simple functions.

Samarjit,

Please read through my reply. Think you have got the terminologies mixed up as well.

Hi,

Simple function -- will have one input and return only one Value.

Here we cannot return multiple values..

Advanced UDF -- input Array list , and return one/ Multiple Values

Hi

Think you got the terminologies mixed.

User Defined Function are of 2 types,

1. Simple and 2. Advanced.

1--> Simple UDF's take in inputs as strings ,ie. only one input.

2 --> Advanced UDF's takes the entire Queue or Cache as the input. ,i.e their inputs are Arrays.

Queue implies only the current Queue of that element is the input, cache implies the entire Element is passed as the input.
