IT26282: UPDATE ON FULL TABLE WHICH USES SUB_SELECT COULD INCORRECTLY SET VALUES TO NULL FOR COLUMN BEING UPDATED.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Update using a sub-select on the full table could incorrectly
  set column value to NULL.
  Single row update is correct and is setting a proper value for
  the column.
  
  The problem only exists in  v11.
  
  example:
  
  update test1 t1 set col_a =  (select t2.col_a  from test2 t2
  where t1.col_a = t2.col_a)
  
  col_a  will be updated to NULL incorrectly.
