How to use PDF for function definition?

Code:
kla = 1.3; nla = 1;
Clear[z, PDFla];
PDFla[z_] := PDF[GammaDistribution[kla, nla/kla], z] ;
PDFLa[3]

Output:
PDFLa[3]

How to use it? By documentation i can also try simply PDFla :=
PDF[GammaDistribution[kla, nla/kla]] that defines 'pure function', but
result is the same. How to use it in right way.

P.S. Where can i find a proper database for 'mathematica' bugs?
