DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2

Under rare scenarios, DB2 might produce an incorrect result if 
the following conditions are true: 
1) The query contains a NULL constant in predicate 
2) The predicate is of the form expression <relop> NULL where 
<relop> can be =,>=,<= 
3) The expression is either a CASE expression or a NULLIF 
function 
4) The output of the expression is guaranteed to be NULL 
 
eg. 
select * from t1 where NULLIF (c1, c1) >= Cast(NULL as int); 
select * from t1 where case when c1 = c1 then NULL else c1 end 
>= cast(NULL as BIGINT);
