Error description
NVL2 produces error SQL0332N if the first argument is FOR BIT DATA and the second and third arguments are GRAPHIC (or vice-versa). For example: create table MYSCHEMA.TEST ( graphiccol GRAPHIC(4) -- any other type is fine ); All these examples incorrectly produce an error due to mix of GRAPHIC and character string FOR BIT DATA: select NVL2(RID_BIT(test), test.graphiccol, test.graphiccol) FROM MYSCHEMA.TEST test; SQL0332N Character conversion from the source code page "1200" to the target code page "0" is not supported. SQLSTATE=57017 select NVL2(cast(RID_BIT(test) as varchar(16)),test.graphiccol, test.graphiccol) FROM MYSCHEMA.TEST test; SQL0332N select NVL2(cast('blabla' as varchar(16) for bit data) , test.graphiccol, test.graphiccol) FROM MYSCHEMA.TEST test; SQL0332N This works fine since the first argument is not FOR BIT DATA: db2 "select NVL2(cast('blabla' as varchar(16)) , test.graphiccol,test.graphiccol) as column1 FROM MYSCHEMA.TEST test" COLUMN1 -------- 0 record(s) selected.
Local fix
Cast the GRAPHIC expression(s) to VARGRAPHIC or use the equivalent CASE expression instead of NVL2 CASE WHEN expression IS NOT NULL THEN result-expression ELSE else-expression END
