find -exec How to add additional parameter when calling a funtion

Hello

Current working script is :

Code:

#
# my_script  BEGIN
#

function a_function {

FIRST_PARAM="$1"

DO_SOMETHING "$FIRST_PARAM"

}

export -f  a_function

START_HERE="/home/some_user/Documents"
find $START_HERE"  -exec bash -c 'a_function "$0" ' {}   \;

#
# my_script  END
#

What I need is to have two more parameters in the called function :

Code:

#
# my_script_not working  BEGIN
#

function a_function {

FIRST_PARAM="$1"
SECOND_PARAM="$2"
THIRD_PARAM="$3"

DO_SOMETHING "$FIRST_PARAM" "$SECOND_PARAM" "$THIRD_PARAM"

}

export -f  a_function

START_HERE="/home/some_user/Documents"
VARIABLE_1="VALUE_1"
VARIABLE_2="VALUE_2"

find $START_HERE"  -exec bash -c 'a_function "$0" ' {}  "$VARIABLE_1"   "$VARIABLE_2" \;

#
# my_script_not working   END
#

I have tried to replace " by '
I have tried to remove or not "$0"
I have tried to put "$VARIABLE_1" "$VARIABLE_2" before or after {}

Any help is welcome

NAME

       sieveshell - remotely manipulate sieve scripts

SYNOPSIS

       sieveshell [--user=user] [--authname=authname] [--realm=realm] [--exec=script] server[:port]

       sieveshell --help

DESCRIPTION

       sieveshell allows users to manipulate their scripts on a remote server.	It works via MANAGESIEVE, a work in progress.

       The following commands are recognized:

	   list list scripts on server.

	   put <filename> upload script to server.

	   get <name> [<filename>] get script. if no filename display to stdout

	   delete <name> delete script.

	   activate <name> activate script.

	   deactivate deactivate all scripts.

OPTIONS

       -u user, --user=user
	   The authorization name to request; by default, derived from the authentication credentials.

       -a authname, --authname=authname
	   The user to use for authentication (defaults to current user).

       -r realm, --realm=realm
	   The realm to attempt authentication in.

       -e script, --exec=script
	   Instead of working interactively, run commands from script, and exit when done.
