Error description
On a DECIMAL=COMMA SSID, an illegal symbol error can result when SQL contains a list of numbers - separated by commas (without spaces). What is intended to be list of parameters, is treated by Db2 as a floating point number. The fix will reformat the parameter list in such a way that Db2 will not interpret the list as a floating point number, but rather as a list of parameters as originally intended.
