DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / A50 - DB2

SYSIBM.LEFT( string, length contant, string unit ) returns 
SQLCODE -138, SQLCODE 22011 when length constant expressed in 
string units exceeds string length.  This APAR fix will allow 
length to exceed string length, the result is padded with blank 
characters up to the length.  The length argument must be a 
constant and the length expressed in the specified string units 
mustn't exceed the maximum size of the result data type.  The 
result data type will have a length equal to the length argument 
expressed in the specified string units.  For example: 
 
values left('abc',10,codeunits16) 
 
1 
-------------------- 
abc 
 
  1 record(s) selected. 
 
the result data type is VARCHAR(20). 
 
The same applies to SYSIBM.RIGHT.

****************************************************************

Cast the string argument to a larger size, or convert length to 
the default string unit of the input string and omit the string 
unit, e.g.: 
 
values left(varchar('abc',20),10,codeunits16) 
values left('abc',20)

First fixed in DB2 version 10.5 fix pack 6
