APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
When comparing fixed character or graphic strings where either side uses a CASE statement, DB2 may return incorrect results in VARCHAR2 compatibility mode. Example: CREATE TABLE T(C1 CHAR(4)) INSERT INTO T VALUES ('M') SELECT * FROM T WHERE C1 = CASE WHEN 1=1 THEN 'M' END Incorrect Result: C1 ---- 0 record(s) selected.
Local fix
From the example above, cast the CASE statement to a fixed character string of the desired length: SELECT * FROM T WHERE C1 = CAST((CASE WHEN 1=1 THEN 'M' END) AS CHAR(1)) C1 -------- M 1 record(s) selected.
