DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC61603 Status: Closed

XS:DOUBLE(<INPUT STRING>) RETUNS SQL0901N WHEN THE <INPUT
STRING> TERMINATES WITH "+" OR "-", FOR EXAMPLE
XS:DOUBLE("8E+")

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 950 - DB2
Problem description:
xs:double is returning a -901 system error for a malformed input 
to xs:double() which is incorrect and very misleading to the 
user. 
 
Because 8E+ is not in a valid lexical representation for 
xs:double (From the spec 3.2.5.1 Lexical representation 
http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#double) we should be returning 
the SQL16061N error below. 
 
SQL16061N  The value "" cannot be constructed as, or cast (using 
an implicit 
or explicit cast) to the data type "xs:double". Error 
QName=err:FORG0001. 
SQLSTATE=10608
