  ic=/com.ibm.db2.udb.apdv.embed.doc/doc/c0022545.htm
  
  For Java or .NET applications, no encoding declaration is added,
  unless you cast the data as the com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2Xml type, and
  use a getDB2Xmlxxx method to retrieve the data. The declaration
  that is added depends on the getDB2Xmlxxx that you use.
  
  However Legacy JDBC Type 2 Driver is adding Byte Order Mark(BOM)
  and XML declaration.
  
  
  Here is result of output.
  
  ResultSet rset = stmt.executeQuery( "select info from customer
  where cid=1002 " );
  info = rset.getString( "info" );
  System.out.println(info);
  
  ?<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16" ?><customerinfo...
  First ? is BOM(0x0XFEFF)
  
  The following output is expected.
  <customerinfo...
  

Local fix

• Add db2cli.ini in COMMON section as below
  [COMMON]
  XMLDeclaration=0
