IT28270: LPAD, RPAD or REPLACE may result in SQLCODE -901 when source-string references a column-organized table column

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Columnar query execution involving the LPAD, RPAD or REPLACE
  builtin
  functions
  may fail with SQLCODE -901 and one of the following reason
  codes:
  
  - unexpected error at GetJoinPayloadEvaluator.cpp:136
  - unexpected error at MinMaxPartialEvaluator.cpp:98
  
  This can happen when the source-string (i.e. first argument)
  references a column-organized table column and either:
  
  - at least one argument is a variable
  - at least one argument is a constant and the statement
  concentrator is enabled
  

Local fix

• If any argument s a constant and the statement
  concentrator is enabled, try disabling it.  Otherwise, avoid
  using the function.
