PH25182: SQL PA IS NOT HANDLE CONCENTRATE LITERALS (& SIGN)

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• SQL PA already replace :HV1 with ? before sending the query to
  explain, so we need to do something similar for & which was
  introduced in  Db2 10 with CONCENTRATE LITERALS.
  The simple solution is to replace any standalone & tokens with ?
  SELECT * FROM table1 WHERE NAME = '&'
  (no replacement! & is within single quotes)
  SELECT * FROM "STUPIDTABLE&NAME"
  (no replacement! & is within double quotes)
  SELECT * FROM table1 WHERE NAME = &
  (replacement!?)
