Hi,

that is the old 'problem'.
During select which does not result in a copied (physically stored) resultset,
a check is made whether at least one record will fulfill the expected 
restrictions.
During this check, the resultrecord is prepared, the qualification handled AND 
your function called once.

Then the select 'knows' that its result is NOT 'row not found'. This answer is 
returned to the client/the user.
Then the fetching of the resultrows starts, thus preparing the first 
resultrecord for the second time,
but now returning it to the client/the user.
--> Only for the first resultrecord the double-handling is made
--> In case your resultset consists of only one resultrecord it looks like 
calling the function twice
    in every case. But this is not true. You will see if more than one 
resultrecord exists.
Then Alexander's advice is a good one.

If you can assure that 0 or 1 resultrecord exists, a select ... into 
:parameter_list from ...
will help, to avoid the second call of the function (and will be faster as no 
resultset-preparation
has to take place)
