DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / A10 - DB2

When you run the CREATE PACKAGE BODY command for a package body 
that contains a procedure that  references itself (whether 
directly or indirectly), it gets an error of the following form. 
 
 SQL20481N  The creation or revalidation of object 
"<object-name>" would result in an invalid direct or indirect 
self-reference. 
 
The "<object-name>" in the error message is the specific name 
and not the real name of the procedure. 
Because the package creation has failed due to the SQL20481N 
error, the specific name does not persist in the DB2 system 
catalog, so it is not possible find the real name of the 
procedure. 
With this APAR fix the "<object-name>" in the error message is 
the real name of the procedure. 
 
 
The following script demonstrates the problem. 
 
<code> 
create or replace package test_self_reference 
as 
    procedure proc1; 
end@ 
 
create or replace procedure proc2 
is 
begin 
    test_self_reference.proc1(); 
end@ 
 
create or replace package body test_self_reference 
is 
procedure proc1 
is 
begin 
    proc2(); 
end proc1; 
 
end@ 
</code> 
 
 
Because of this defect the CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY 
statement gets an error like this. 
 
SQL20481N  The creation or revalidation of object 
"<schema-name>.TEST_SELF_REFERENCE.SQL120119100237800" would 
result in an invalid direct or indirect self-reference. 
 
 
With this APAR fix the CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY gets an 
error like this instead. 
 
SQL20481N  The creation or revalidation of object 
"<schema-name>.TEST_SELF_REFERENCE.PROC1" would result in an 
invalid direct or indirect self-reference.
