The module David is referring to is an Access Module (axsmod), not a UDF. You should review the manuals for the differences between these. Here are the highlights:

An access module is compiled and linked on the client platform (where you run the load utility). A UDF may be compiled anywhere but is stored and executed within the database.

An access module allows you to read something other than flat files for input to the database. A UDF works only on data that is already in the database.

The parameter lists and protocols are different.
