DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2

When using SQL PL associative arrays the DB2 instance may crash 
with a segmentation fault (signal #11 on Unix/Linux) or memory 
access violation (C0000005 on Windows) with the following stack: 
 
<redBlackTree::rbGetFirstNode> 
<associativeArrayHeader::getFirstNode> 
<associativeArrayHeader::getFirstIndex> 
<sqlriArrayDescriptor::destroyAllChildren> 
<sqlriArrayDescriptor::allocateDyn> 
<sqlriArrayDescriptor::setElement> 
<PVM::setArrayElement> 
<PVM::run> 
<pvm_entry> 
 <sqloInvokeFnArgs> 
<sqlriInvokerTrusted> 
<sqlriInvokeInvoker> 
<sqlricall> 
<sqlriSectInvoke> 
<sqlrr_process_execute_request> 
<sqlrr_execute> 
<sqljs_ddm_excsqlstt> 
<sqljsParse> 
<sqljsSqlam> 
<sqljsDriveRequests> 
<sqljsDrdaAsInnerDriver> 
<sqljsDrdaAsDriver> 
<sqeAgent::RunEDU> 
<sqlzRunEDU> 
<sqloInitEDUServices> 
 
This issue is caused by a logic problem during the error 
handling of a failure to allocate memory from the application 
heap for new elements in a SQL PL associative array. 
 
This APAR will fix the error handling to remove the crashing 
conditions such that the correct memory allocation failure 
message (such as SQL20442) will be returned.
