DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC71684 Status: Closed

CRASH OCCURS ON UPGRADED DATABASE WHEN VIEWS QUERY COLUMNS CASTED TO LOB
TYPES.

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2
Problem description:
Crash may occur when views query columns which have been casted 
to LOB types,  after upgrading to v9.7. i.e ALL views that have 
the LOB type column "derived" by using the cast function on a 
varchar column. 
 
Upgrade logic is responsible for not preserving appropriate 
internal values, that can lead to under allocated memory, 
resulting in memory overwrites.
