You can invoke SQL UDFs from within an SQL cursor. The rules for invoking an SQL UDF from within a cursor are the same as those for any other expression specified within an SQL cursor (see Teradata Vantage™ - SQL Stored Procedures and Embedded SQL, B035-1148 for details).

This example invokes an SQL UDF in the WHERE clause of a SELECT request in a cursor.

DECLARE ex1 CURSOR FOR
  SELECT *
  FROM t1
  WHERE df2.common_value_expression(t1.a1, t1.b1) > 1
  ORDER BY t1.a1;

This example invokes an SQL UDF in an UPDATE request in a cursor.

DECLARE ex3 CURSOR FOR
  UPDATE t1 SET b1 = df2.common_value_expression(t1.a1, t1.b1)
  WHERE c1 > 10;
