DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 950 - DB2

If the IMPORT utility is invoked with the KEEPBLANKS modifier, 
and the first column in the data file is a numeric column (ie. 
smallint, int, bigint, float, real, decimal), and the data 
column value is padded with spaces before or after the numeric 
value, then Import will not parse the value as a numeric type 
but instead return a SQL3117W if the column is nullable, or 
reject the record if the column is not nullable. 
This problem only effects v95fp6, and v97fp2 and v97fp3.

Remove space padding from around numeric column values in the 
data file.
