I think Doug may be the best person to answer in regards to SF, but from the SQL Server perspective, as I already said, having scalar function in the query usually lead to performance problems (unless it's CLR function). Inline table functions are much better. So, I suggest to re-think the approach rather than trying to put the same logic as in VFP (where I think UDFs in where clause don't perform well also).
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
