DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC81004 Status: Closed

DBMS_SQL.IS_OPEN INCORRECTLY RETURNS INTEGER INSTEAD OF BOOLEAN

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2
Problem description:
The routine DBMS_SQL.IS_OPEN(cur, ret) is documented to return 
type BOOLEAN for parameter 'ret'. However, the routine 
incorrectly returns an INTEGER for ret. 
 
ret 
 
An output argument of type BOOLEAN that indicates if the 
specified file 
is open (TRUE) or closed (FALSE). 
 
 
 
db2 => select varchar(routinemodulename, 20), 
varchar(routinename, 20), 
varchar(parmname, 20), varchar(typename, 20) from 
syscat.routineparms 
where routinemodulename='DBMS_SQL' and routinename = 'IS_OPEN';

This APAR fix will allow DBMS_SQL.IS_OPEN to return a value of 
type BOOLEAN, as documented.
