DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / A10 - DB2

THE USE OF NUMERIC SCALAR FUNCTIONS (LIKE ABS, COS, SIN, MOD, 
POWER, ETC) PUSHING NUMERIC ARGUMENT TYPES (DECIMAL, FLOAT, ETC) 
THROUGH A JOIN OR UNION MAY PRODUCE A FODC_APPERR DIRECTORY. 
 
A -901 error may be observed in the db2diag.log file during 
execution of queries that use numeric scalar functions (like 
ABS, COS, SIN, MOD, POWER, etc). For a complete list of the 
numeric scalar functions search the DB2 10.5 information center 
for "Built-in functions". 
 
An example of select using the ABS function is shown:
