Question

I am doing the following:

    Insert into table1 
   (Phone#) values @Phone

There is a custom function which will format the phone number. It accepts as input parameter the phone number and returns the formatted version.

I tried the following but not sure it would not work:

    Insert into table1 
   (Phone#) values fn_phone(@Phone)

It says fn_phone is not a recognized built in function name. Am I doing something wrong on how I am calling fn_phone?

Answer 1

Use two-part name when you are calling UDF

Try this:

Insert into table1  
   (Phone#) select dbo.fn_phone(@Phone)
