is ab the name of a dummy variable or a lookup alias?
if i can't guess which, perhaps fp can't either?  perhaps if it is the
former and you either put declaration on different line and/or added 
optional ",*" to it - or if the latter, perhaps use a longer alias name?

is ab used as a lookup name somewhere else on table?  what is length
and type of xxx(1)?
