DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / A50 - DB2

Trailing blanks on package identifiers are not being trimmed and 
ignored as they should be. 
When using certain statements such as "SET CURRENT PACKAGE SET 
=:HV", where the host variable has trailing blanks, DB2 will 
include the trailing blanks into the cached package name and 
load the trailing blank identifier into the APM cache. 
This is an issue when subsequent actions on the package (such as 
BIND) are done. As the flushing of the package will be skipped 
due to mismatching caused by the trailing blanks, the package 
will not be flushed as per design. The next time the package is 
loaded, DB2 will load the cache package with trailing blanks 
which has different section information than the SYSPLAN. This 
causes a discrepancy between SYSPLAN and the cached package 
raising the defensive -901 error and one of following messages 
will be logged to db2diag.log:
