Problem IC93926
|
Status: Closed |
TO_CHAR( CHARACTER-EXPRESSION, FORMAT-STRING ) RETURNS SQL20447N IN VARCHAR2 COMPATIBILITY MODE |
| product: |
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2 |
| Problem description: |
In VARCHAR2 compatibility mode, calling TO_CHAR(
character-expression, format-string ) should implicitly cast the
first argument to a number and perform numeric to string
conversion using the format string provided.
Instead, the first argument is implicitly cast to a timestamp
and the second argument is assumed to be a timestamp format
string.
This is likely to result in SQLCODE SQL20447N and SQLSTATE
22007. |
