SQLCODE value Meaning SQLCODE descriptions
SQLCODE = 0 Successful execution, if SQLWARN0 is blank.

If SQLWARN0 = 'W', successful execution with warning.

000
SQLCODE = 100 No data was found. For example, a FETCH statement returned no data because the cursor was positioned after the last row of the result table. +100
SQLCODE > 0 and not = 100 Successful execution with a warning. +sqlcode-num
SQLCODE < 0 Execution was not successful. -sqlcode-num

For PDF format descriptions of the SQL codes that Db2 13 might issue, see PDF file icon Codes.

In the case of a LOOP statement, the SQLSTATE is set after the END LOOP portion of the LOOP statement completes. With the REPEAT statement, the SQLSTATE is set after the UNTIL and END REPEAT portions of the REPEAT statement completes.

The SQL standard does not define the meaning of any other specific positive or negative values of SQLCODE, and the meaning of these values is not the same in all implementations of SQL.

If the application is using Db2 ODBC, an SQLCODE is only returned if the application issues the SQLGetSQLCA function.
