1. Go to [IMLN] and identify the custom function in the [X_UC_FUNCTIONS] lexicon
* Saved Value is a unique 10 character code that is stored in the data base
* Displayed Value is the Function Name as declared in the data base

!!Defining the Custom Function in the Data Base
#The custom function must be named P2K_xxx (must start with P2K).\\ \\As a best practice, it is recommended that you include your customer code in the name of the function, which will ensure it is not overlaid at some future point by any new development.\\ \\For workflow oriented custom functions, a recommended best practice is to also include the table/product name in the function name. For example, a custom function created for the WF_EASD table might be named P2K_CF_EASD_xxx_yyyy where xxx is your customer code and yyyy is some kind of descriptive value to aid in remembering what the function does.\\ \\
#Create the function in the data base as a [data base function] returning VARCHAR or NUMBER or BOOLEAN (true/false)
#*No parameters may be defined in this function.
#*Variables, however, can be passed by setting their value prior to calling the custom function and then referring to them within the function.
#**Variables defined on the [IMUC Variables|IMUC#VariablesTab] tab are created in the UserCalc as V_<''variable name''>.\\For example, a variable identified as __Current Month FTE__ will be identified as __V_CURRENT_MONTH_FTE__ in the SQL code.
#*If defining a PR UserCalc, you also have access to all the package variables that are used as part of the P2K_PMCALC package (see P2K_PMCALC_SPEC.sql, which is server code and is a package that exists in the database)
#*You also have access to the P2K_PMUCUTIL package variables (see P2K_PMUCUTIL_SPEC.sql, which is server code and is a package that exists in the database)

!!Defining the Custom Function in the data base
1. The custom function must be named P2K_xxx_functionname where xxx is the customer code. This is especially important for Workflow oriented user calcs.

* No parameters may be defined in this function
* Variables can be passed, however, by setting their value prior to calling the custom function
