The validate command running on a custom SQL query returns the error message AWSWUI0331E

You are creating a Custom SQL report, and you run the Validate command to check your query. The validate fails and the following error message is returned:

AWSWUI0331E The SQL query could not be validated. The database internal message is:
[ibm][db2][jcc][10103][10941] Method executeQuery cannot be used for update.

Cause and solution:

The validate failure is caused by a syntax error in the query statement, for example, a typing error, such as:

sele Workstation_name,Job_name,Job_start_time from MDL.JOB_HISTORY_V
 where Workstation_name like 'H%'

In this query, sele is written in place of select.

Verify the SQL query is correct and, optionally, try to run the same query from the DB2® command line to get additional details.
