DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2

A query may fail to compile with SQL0401N or SQL0440N when the 
query uses one of the following built-in string manipulation 
functions: 
 
    SYSIBM.CHARACTER_LENGTH 
    SYSIBM.INSERT 
    SYSIBM.LCASE 
    SYSIBM.LEFT 
    SYSIBM.LENGTH 
    SYSIBM.LOCATE 
    SYSIBM.LOWER 
    SYSIBM.OVERLAY 
    SYSIBM.POSITION 
    SYSIBM.RIGHT 
    SYSIBM.SUBSTRING 
    SYSIBM.UCASE 
    SYSIBM.UPPER 
 
The problem only occurs if one of the above string function 
invocations includes the optional string unit parameter 
(CODEUNITS16, CODEUNITS32 or OCTETS). For example: 
 
select * from t1 where substring (c1, 1, 5, codeunits16) = '' 
and c2=6939 
 
SQL0401N  The data types of the operands for the operation "=" 
are not compatible.  SQLSTATE=42818 
 
select * from t1 where c2=7453 and substring (c1, 1, 5, octets) 
= '' 
 
SQL0440N  No authorized routine named "SUBSTRING" of type 
"FUNCTION" having compatible arguments was found. 
SQLSTATE=42884

Users Affected: 
Users who are using one of the built-in string manipulation 
functions. 
 
Problem Description: 
If this APAR is not applied, it is possible that a query may 
fail to compile with SQL0401N or SQL0440N. 
 
Problem Summary: See Error Description for details.

If possible, avoid the use of the string unit.
