Problem IC66498
|
Status: Geschlossen |
String truncation does not raise an exception in PL/SQL code |
| Produkt: |
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2 |
| Problembeschreibung: |
In PL/SQL, when a string value is stored into a CHAR or VARCHAR
variable that is too small to hold it, a VALUE_ERROR exception
should be raised. DB2 is not raising the exception as expected.
The following example demonstrates the problem:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION test_func_plsql
RETURN VARCHAR
IS
v_text VARCHAR(1);
BEGIN
v_text := 'Hello';
RETURN 'FAILURE: Exception was not dispatched.';
EXCEPTION
WHEN VALUE_ERROR THEN
RETURN 'SUCCESS: Exception dispatched.';
END;
/
BEGIN
test_func_plsql;
END;

| Local-Fix: |
This problem occurs because string truncation results in a
warning condition in SQL routines under DB2, instead of the
exception condition that is expected by PL/SQL. Beginning with
DB2 Version 9.7 Fix Pack 3, you can map user-declared
conditions to specific DB2 SQLSTATE values, including warnings,
using PRAGMA DB2_EXCEPTION_INIT.
Here is an example of a PL/SQL routine with a condition handler
to detect DB2 truncation warnings, SQLSTATE '01004':
declare
TRUNCATION_ERROR exception;
pragma db2_exception_init(TRUNCATION_ERROR, '01004');
v_text varchar(1);
begin
v_text := 'Hello';
dbms_output.put_line('FAIL: No truncation detected');
exception
when TRUNCATION_ERROR then
dbms_output.put_line('PASS: Truncation detected');
end;
/
Please note that an OTHERS clause in an exception handler will
not catch this type of exception by itself; if you wish to catch
a truncation warning with an OTHERS clause, you must specify the
exception name explicitly, along with OTHERS. For example:
declare
TRUNCATION_ERROR exception;
pragma db2_exception_init(TRUNCATION_ERROR, '01004');
v_text varchar(1);
begin
v_text := 'Hello';
dbms_output.put_line('FAIL: No exception detected');
exception
when TRUNCATION_ERROR or OTHERS then
dbms_output.put_line('PASS: Exception detected');
end;
/
If necessary, the conditional compilation features of DB2 can
be used to isolate DB2-specific code in your PL/SQL
applications. For example:
update db cfg for testdb using SQL_CCFLAGS DB2_TRUNC:TRUE;
create or replace procedure test
is
$IF $$DB2_TRUNC $THEN
TRUNCATION_ERROR exception;
pragma db2_exception_init(TRUNCATION_ERROR, '01004');
$END
v_text varchar(1);
begin
v_text := 'Hello';
dbms_output.put_line('FAIL: No exception detected');
exception
$IF $$DB2_TRUNC $THEN
when TRUNCATION_ERROR or OTHERS then
$ELSE
when OTHERS then
$END
dbms_output.put_line('PASS: Exception detected');
end;
/
