Hi Marco,
I think what you need to do is to specify the argument type in the function
definition:
f[x_,p_Real] = .......

>f[x_,p_]=Integrate[y/(x^2+y^2) Exp[-I p y],{y,-Infinity,Infinity}],
>
>p should be a real parameter. The output given by Mathematica is
>conditioned to Im[p]==0, such as If[Im[p]==0,....,....], which is not
>easy to handle, and I'd like to avoid this complication.
