use [mydb]
go
sp_help dbo.myFunction

Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Line 1
Line 1: Incorrect syntax near '.'.

but the following executes with no problem.

use [mydb]
go
sp_help myFunction

I've noticed this problem for a long time with system stored
procedures, there must be a reason. Please give me a hint.

Thanks a lot.

Same error. BTW, the db is SQL Server 2000. I tried executing this
sp_help like that in both Sql Query Analyzer and Sql Server Management
Studio, and I got the same error in both.

I guess no one has an answer to this mysterious situation.

Author,

This works for me on both SQL Server 2000 and 2005.

sp_help '[dbo].[myFunction]'

So does:

sp_help "[dbo].[myFunction]"

For SQL Server 2000, the standard question might be 'which service pack or
which build is running on the server and same question for your desktop
tools.'

It worked for me (the code I gave you) for Sql2005.

That's all I got, sorry.
