Is it possible to extend the built-in functions of ADABAS?
DB functions can be defined using the same language elements that are used for DB procedures. Such DB functions can be applied, e.g., in the SELECT statement, in addition to the provided standard built-in functions. They allow data editing or qualification functions specific to a particular application to be put into action on the database server, thus helping to avoid unnecessary data transfer from the server to the client or application.
