[OASIS Issue Tracker] (ODATA-739) Allow default values for function and action parameters

[OASIS Issues Tracker <workgroup_mailer@lists.oasis-open.org>]

    [ https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/ODATA-739?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=48440#comment-48440 ] 

Michael Pizzo commented on ODATA-739:
-------------------------------------

The problem with default values for functions is that it messes up function overloading rules. How do I know if I'm calling the overload with all of the parameters, but using default values, or if I'm calling the overload that has only a subset of parameters defined. Because the routing may occur very early in the pipeline, having simple, deterministic semantics is important.

> In SQL, function and stored procedure parameters can have default values (used when no value is specified for the parameter).  We should consider allowing action and function parameters to have default values as well.
