Resolving The Problem
Search for Informix APARs.
An APAR (Authorized Program Analysis Report) represents a formal report to IBM development of a problem caused by a suspected defect in a current unaltered release of an IBM program. After the report is filed, the IBM development team reviews the suspected defect to determine the appropriate disposition of the APAR, taking action to resolve those confirmed as actual defects in the IBM program.
IBM customers can obtain information regarding reported APARs from any of the IBM Product Support Centers. To access one of the Informix Product Support Centers, visit the Informix Product Family Support page.
Important: To access APAR information on the web, you must sign in using an IBM Registration ID. Your free ID is your single point of access to IBM web applications that use IBM Registration. If you are not currently registered, you can register now.

Error description
When querying the sysmaster database syssqlstat table, the sqs_statement column shows an incorrect sql statement for the session
Local fix
As workaround, instead of using column syssqlstat.sqs_statement, we can get correct results (sql statement) if retrieving column syssqexplain.sqx_sqlstatement. This other SMI table (syssqexplain) can be joined to syssessions by the session id (sqx_sessionid).
Problem summary
The sysmaster:syssqlstat column displayed the wrong sql statement for the sqs_statement column, and this was corrected.
Problem conclusion
Fixed in 9.40.xC9
Temporary fix
