1 The following catalog views for functions, methods, and procedures defined in Db2 Version 7.1 and earlier are still available:
   Functions:  SYSCAT.FUNCTIONS, SYSCAT.FUNCDEP, SYSCAT.FUNCPARMS
   Methods:    SYSCAT.FUNCTIONS, SYSCAT.FUNCDEP, SYSCAT.FUNCPARMS
   Procedures: SYSCAT.PROCEDURES, SYSCAT.PROCPARMS
However, these views have not been updated since Db2 Version 7.1. Use the SYSCAT.ROUTINES, SYSCAT.ROUTINEDEP, or SYSCAT.ROUTINEPARMS catalog view instead.
