PI19318: CANNOT UPDATE DB-QUERY SUBJECT WHICH HAS IMPLICITLY HIDDEN COLUMNS IN DB2. WILL CAUSE CLI0121E INVALID COLUMN NUMBER

APAR status

• Closed as fixed if next.

Error description

• when the db2 cli method sqlColumns is called on a table it will
  return all columns in the table including hidden columns. when a
  db query subject is updated, the logical query for the db-query
  subject is sqlPrepared and in turn sqlDescribeCol is called for
  each column. If one or more columns are marked as hidden a query
  such as select * from T will not return those columns. Hence,
  the assumption to iterate for N columns based on sqlColumns can
  cause this error.
