-113   INVALID CHARACTER FOUND IN: string, REASON CODE nnn

Explanation

The string contains an invalid character. It can be an SQL ordinary identifier name, a host variable name, or a DBCS comment.

Certain SQL identifiers (for example names of buffer pools, databases, and plans) must contain only uppercase alphabetic or national characters and numerics; the first character must be alphabetic or national.

The following reason codes apply to SBCS identifiers:
000
An invalid character was found in the SBCS identifier (including the case in which a DBCS identifier was used where only an SBCS identifier is allowed.)
The following reason codes apply to DBCS identifiers or comments:
101
An odd number of bytes exists between the shift-out and the shift-in character.
102
Either a shift-in or shift-out character is missing.
103
DBCS blanks X'4040' are not allowed.
104
There are no characters between the shift-out and the shift-in characters.
105
Shift-out cannot be the first byte of the DBCS character between the shift-out and the shift-in characters.
