Probably that they lack input arguments. External functions are expected to act as transform functions - to take one or more arguments, effect a transform and to return a result.

Try to use fewer named pipes simultaneously system wide.

Can you try the same SELECT statement using a Sybase OC stage?

It means that server side tracing is enabled, which slows everything by about 10% and records trace files in the &COMO& subdirectory in the project. Check with your administrator whether it should be ON - maybe something is being diagnosed. Server side tracing can be enabled/disabled in the ...
