Problem IC63612
|
Status: Closed |
EXECUTION OF STORED PROCEDURE ON Z/OS WITH NULL INPUT PARAMETER INSERTS STRING "NULL" INSTEAD OF NULL VALUE |
| product: |
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 950 - DB2 |
| Problem description: |
When executing a Stored Procedure on z/OS DB2 when input
parameter is null, this will result with string NULL inserted as
opposed to a null character.
For example.
db2 => create procedure sptest2(IN id char(20)) language sql
begin insert into test values (id, 10); end
db2 call sptest2(null)
db2 select * from test
A B
-------- -----------
null 10 ===> A string
"null" value is inserted
If you instead insert into the table
insert into test values (null, 8) ===> this actually inserts a
SQL null value in the table
db2 select * from test
A B
-------- -----------
- 8 ==> The "-" is showing
as null under column "A"
So the null character is shown and not the string null. |
