There is no null argument. You should handle the null case in your code.
If (arga == null)
Or optionally you could use a generic udf but a regular one should handle

Soren,
Can you give the complete stack trace? Or share the code? Perhaps, the

Look at Ceil UDF for example, it has a null check, you should be able to do
something similar:
