Excellent replies. Thanks to those who replied! I've got it working now.
I've only been using UV for about 7 years
Functions in UV are implemented as subroutines. That is, the following are
equivalent.
FUNCTION MyName(Arg1,Arg2)
* my code here
RETURN(Result)
SUBROUTINE MyName(Result,Arg1,Arg2)
* my code here
RETURN
When you use CALL, you use the actual catalog name (whether it's in VOC or
GLOBAL.CATDIR).
I believe the only "must have" is a $ prefix when cataloging subroutines to be
invoked from ICONV/OCONV.
Otherwise there don't seem to be any restrictions, which was a huge surprise
when I moved from Prime.

Do you need to use the ! In the DEFFUN (and when you refer to the
function) if it's globally catalogued?

There are conventional uses for these characters but you can break the

The '*' is relic for INFORMATION compatiblity; when you CATALOGed within
INFORMATION, the '*' was used to indicate a global program.
The '!' is also a relic from INFORMATION, as the Prime-supplied Subroutines
all began with it (!EXIST, !AMLC, etc) and this was supported within
