Why do you need to use UDF at all? If you want to get rid of spaces, use

      TEXT TO .SELECTCMD NOSHOW TEXTMERGE PRETEXT 15
			SELECT HDBK, Hid , HDOCNO, HAMOUNT,  STR( HDOCDATE ) AS 'DATEDOC',CREATEDBY,
			STR(Createdon) AS 'createdon' , hremint  FROM <<.TABLES>>
			WHERE RTRIM(LTRIM( HDBK )) LIKE '<<Vp_in>>'
    ENDTEXT

Also, are you sure that it's valid to use STR function with dates?
