I think this Help is confusing. First of all, remarks to FUNCTION doesn't even mention current database. Does it mean that it's not searched or it's a Help omission?

Secondly, as you noted, it's not clear, what does help mean. Does it mean that if I want to be sure my current database is searched first, I need to write
DO myProcedure with ??????

I never do that, I always use the other syntax
If MyProcedure(par1, par2)

Finally, the program file that contains the function with the same name is already in memory since I execute other functions from it. Unless I decide to move all these functions to SP, does it mean that it would be searched first?
