DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC81174 Status: Closed

IMPORT FROM A REMOTE CLIENT WHERE THE IMPORT FILE IS PROCESSED ON THE SAME
CLIENT FAILS WHEN THE FILE HAS EMPTY STRINGS.

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2
Problem description:
Import command from a remote client with the import file on the 
same client, fails to read the file if it has empty strings.  If 
you use the same import file on the DB2 server directly, it 
completes successfully. 
 
For example, 
 
Import from a remote client, with the input file locally on 
C:\temp. 
 
import from C:\temp\staffexp.txt of DEL insert into db2v97.stff; 
 
SQL3196N  The input file was not found. 
 
If you use the same file on the server: 
When the location of the file on the server(/home/db2v97) is 
given, it correctly imports the data; 
 
 
import from /home/db2v97/staffexp.txt of DEL insert into 
db2v97.stff; 
Total number of rows read : 35 
 
Total number of rows skipped : 0 
 
Total number of rows inserted : 35 
 
Total number of rows updated : 0 
 
Total number of rows rejected : 0 
 
Total number of rows committed : 35 
 
DB250000I: The command completed successfully. 
 
The reason for error is the blank value in the delimited data to 
be imported. 
 
20,"Pernal",20,"Sales",,+78171.25,+00612.45      <- 5th column 
value is blank 
10,"Sanders",20,"Mgr  ",7,+98357.50,,                 <- last 
column value is blank
