DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC71916 Status: Closed

INCORRECTLY BLANK PADDED OR CASE INSENSITIVE RESULTS ARE RETURNE DWHEN
COMPARING COLUMNS OF CERTAIN DATATYPES

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 910 - DB2
Problem description:
The problem occurs when performing string comparisons between 
two columns and referencing any one or both of these columns in 
the output column list. Column can be of datatypes char, 
varchar, graphic, vargraphic and any user defined types. 
 
eg. To demonstrate the incorrect results: 
 
SET SCHEMA TEAMS; 
 
CREATE TABLE "TEAMS  "."EMPLOYEE"  ( 
          "PER_ID1" VARCHAR(12) NOT NULL ); 
 
CREATE TABLE "TEAMS  "."EMPLOYEE_ASSIGNMENT"  ( 
          "PER_ID3" VARCHAR(12) NOT NULL ); 
 
CREATE TABLE "TEAMS  "."PERSON"  ( 
      "PER_ID2" VARCHAR(12) NOT NULL ); 
 
insert into employee values '1117592'; 
insert into person values '1117592 '; 
 
SELECT EMPLOYEE.PER_ID1 || '$' AS "EMPLOYEE.PER_ID1" , 
PERSON.PER_ID2 || '$' AS "PERSON.PER_ID2" 
,EMPLOYEE_ASSIGNMENT.PER_ID3 FROM EMPLOYEE LEFT OUTER JOIN 
PERSON ON EMPLOYEE.PER_ID1 = PERSON.PER_ID2 LEFT OUTER JOIN 
EMPLOYEE_ASSIGNMENT ON EMPLOYEE.PER_ID1 = 
EMPLOYEE_ASSIGNMENT.PER_ID3 WHERE PERSON.PER_ID2 = '1117592' ; 
 
EMPLOYEE.PER_ID1 PERSON.PER_ID2 PER_ID3 
---------------- -------------- ------------ 
1117592$         1117592$       - 
 
  1 record(s) selected. 
 
 
Note that the second output column PERSON.PER_ID2 should be 
'1117592 $' (with a blank character before $.)
