Description
..\examples\Udf\ib_udf.sql  has the wrong declation for ascii_char.

IBPhoenix says it should be:

DECLARE EXTERNAL FUNCTION ascii_char
INTEGER
RETURNS CSTRING(1) FREE_IT
ENTRY_POINT 'IB_UDF_ascii_char' MODULE_NAME 'ib_udf';

but I can't get this to work either.

Using what is currently there ror this new syntax results in the error:

arithmetic exception, numeric overflow, or string truncation

I got this fix from:

http://www.ibphoenix.com/ibp_60_known_issues.html

Note: This error is in the docs as well

>>>>>>

This is now fixed in the code. It needs to be fixed in the documentation (PDFs).
