DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / A50 - DB2

Under some circumstances, the binary operators AND and OR are 
disallowed in PL/SQL initializer expressions, resulting in 
syntax error SQL0104N.  For example: 
 
create procedure test(N in number) as 
  is_valid boolean := N >= 0.0 and N < 10.0; 
begin 
  -- ... 
end; 
 
DB21034E  The command was processed as an SQL statement because 
it was not a valid Command Line Processor command.  During SQL 
processing it returned: SQL0104N  An unexpected token ">=" was 
found following "  is_valid boolean := N >= 0.0 and N < 10.0;". 
Expected tokens may include:  "';'".  LINE NUMBER=2. 
SQLSTATE=42601

As a workaround, enclose the initializer expression in 
parentheses; for example: 
 
  create procedure test(N in number) as 
    is_valid boolean := (N >= 0.0 and N < 10.0); 
  begin 
    -- ... 
  end;
