APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Codegen precomputes predicates in scan lolepops if we deem them
  invariant for the duration of the scan. This is causing problems
  with CASE statements and we may end up performing the THEN
  before the WHEN.
  
          CASE
          WHEN TRANSLATE (vc_in, '', '1234567890') THEN CAST
  (vc_in AS INTEGER)
          ELSE NULL
  
  Above is causing a SQL0420N casting error when the value of
  vc_in was 'T001', we would expect the WHEN to avoid doing the
  cast and avoiding the error.
  
  
  Here is reproduction testcase:
  
  CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION METADATA.SAFE_INT (vc_in VARCHAR
  (500))
  RETURNS INTEGER
  NO EXTERNAL ACTION
  RETURN
          CASE
          WHEN TRANSLATE (vc_in, '', '1234567890') = '' THEN CAST
  (vc_in AS INTEGER)
          ELSE NULL
  END
  @
  
  CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION METADATA.TEST_FUNC1( vc_in
  VARCHAR(4))
  RETURNS VARCHAR(20)
     BEGIN ATOMIC
     DECLARE v_list_status_msg VARCHAR(20) DEFAULT 'START';
  
      IF METADATA.SAFE_INT(vc_in) IS NULL THEN
          SET v_list_status_msg = 'Test Worked';
      END IF;
  
      RETURN v_list_status_msg;
  END
  @
  
  drop TABLE t1@
  
  CREATE TABLE t1
  (
      c1                   VARCHAR(4) NOT NULL
  )@
  
  INSERT INTO t1 VALUES('T001')@
  
  SELECT METADATA.TEST_FUNC1(c1) FROM t1@
  

Local fix

• db2set DB2_TCG_DEFAULT_OPTIONS="set precompute_expr off"
  It needs an instance restart to take effect and any static SQL
  needs to
  be rebound to benefit from the workaround.
