This method is used to retrieve the description of the scalar function. When the IP-registered scalar function is called, it can use this API call to get scalar function details. This is useful when the IP registers the same scalar function to evaluate multiple scalar function names or when the scalar function supports a variable number of arguments.
int dam_describeScalarEx(
long hValExpList
StringBuffer pName,
xo_int piNoOfActualParams,
xo_int piResXoType,
