Status: Closed |
TRANSLATE FUNCTION RETURNS WRONG DATA TYPE WITH MIXED GRAPHIC/NON-GRAPHIC ARGS |
| product: |
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / A10 - DB2 |
| Problem description: |
The SYSIBM.TRANSLATE built-in function may return the wrong data
type when input arguments are a mix of graphic and non-graphic
types. As documented in the DB2 Information Centre, the data
type and code page of the result is the same as the data type
and code page of the first argument. For example:
TRANSLATE( CHAR, GRAPHIC, VARGRAPHIC )
should return CHAR but returns GRAPHIC
TRANSLATE( VARCHAR, GRAPHIC, VARGRAPHIC )
should return VARCHAR but returns VARGRAPHIC
TRANSLATE( GRAPHIC, VARCHAR, VARCHAR )
should return GRAPHIC but returns CHAR
TRANSLATE( VARGRAPHIC, VARCHAR, VARCHAR )
should return VARGRAPHIC but returns VARCHAR |
