    ****************************************************************
    ABEND0C4 RC38 in DSNXOCSC OFFSET271C can occur for a query
    eligible for star join.  As DB2 costs the query for star join,
    it may encounter skipped keys, where some of the leading
    columns of the fact table index do not have matching predicates
    in the query.  These skipped keys are not handled properly
    when determining whether matching predicates are
    order-preserving or not, which leads to the abend.
    
    Additional Keywords:
    SQLSTARJOIN ABEND0C4 RC38 DSNXOCSC OFFSET271C OFFSET01271C
    

Problem conclusion

  • Code is updated to allow for such skipped keys during star
    join costing.
