Error description

• Using a query with nested CASE statements against Columnar
  Organized Tables including a division operation
  using column data can lead the query to end with :
   SQL0801N Division by zero was attempted
  
  example:
  CREATE TABLE test  ( test_col DECIMAL(29,16) ) ORGANIZE BY
  COLUMN;
  insert into test values (0),(NULL);
  SELECT
          CASE  WHEN result_1  IS NULL THEN -99999 ELSE
          CASE  WHEN result_1 = 0 THEN -99998 ELSE
          CASE  WHEN result_1 < 0 THEN -99996 ELSE (0 / result_1)
  END END END
  FROM (  SELECT
          CASE  WHEN test_col IS NULL  THEN NULL
                ELSE
                  (0/(CASE WHEN test_col IS NULL THEN 0 ELSE 1
  END))
                END AS result_1
                  FROM test
  )       ;
  

Local fix

• rewrite the query to avoid nested case statements with division
  over the same value
