DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / A10 - DB2

Calling LPAD() and RPAD() function with an empty string '' (pad, 
third parameter) results in a output string with right padded 
with '00'`s characters up to the length provided. The resulting 
varchar string is padded with '00' chars which should not 
happen. 
 
Example: 
 
select LPAD('AAAAA', 10, '') AS F1 from sysibm.sysdummy1 
 
F1 
---------- 
AAAAA 
 
  1 record(s) selected. 
 
 
 
select HEX(LPAD('AAAAA', 10, '')) AS F1 from sysibm.sysdummy1 
 
F1 
-------------------- 
41414141410000000000 
 
  1 record(s) selected. 
 
 
If the pattern (third argument of L/RPAD()) is an empty string 
'', then we should return the result without any padding.
