Problem IC63537
|
Status: Closed |
WRONG RESULTS OR ERROR SQL0802 WITH FUNCTION SYSIBM.POWER WHERE SECOND ARGUMENT IS NULL |
| product: |
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 950 - DB2 |
| Problem description: |
The result of function SYSIBM.POWER is supposed to be NULL is
any of it's input arguments is NULL.
SYSIBM.POWER will either return wrong results or error SQL0802
if the second argument is NULL.
e.g.:
db2 "values(power(10,cast(NULL as integer)))"
1
-----------
1
db2 "values(power(10,cast(NULL as decimal(5,1))))"
1
------------------------
+1.00000000000000E+140
db2 "values(power(10,cast(NULL as decimal)))"
1
------------------------
SQL0802N Arithmetic overflow or other arithmetic exception
occurred.
SQLSTATE=22003
This APAR addresses this issue and ensures correct results when
using function SYSIBM.POWER. |
