APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• - If at least 3 COLUMNAR TABLES ARE JOINED THROUGH CDE NLJNS AND
  TOP NLJN IS EARLY OUT, then it is possible to get wrong plan
  where a predicate is evaluated too late in the plan, above early
  out join. In this case we could loose rows.
  
  - An example of a query that might generate a wrong plan:
  SELECT DISTINCT C1 FROM T1, T2, T3 WHERE (T1.C1 <> T2.C1) AND
  (T3.C2 <= T2.C2) AND (T1.C3 <= T3.C3)
  

Local fix

• Setting the following undocumented join support registry
  variable will solve the issue:
  db2set -im DB2_CDE_ILLEGAL_JOIN_SUPPORT=1
