  If the explained SQL statement on panel ADB2EEE takes up more
  than eleven lines, when entering panel ADB2EE from panel ADB2E
  the lines will be truncated, which will cause a SQLCODE=-104 /
  SQLCODEN104 error when executing the truncated SQL statement:
  
  SQLCODE = -104, ERROR:  ILLEGAL SYMBOL
  ">END-OF-STATEMENT<".
  SOME SYMBOLS THAT MIGHT BE LEGAL ARE:
  VALUE >open parenthesis< CONCAT || / - + FROM INTO * ,
  >IDENTIFIER<
  SQLSTATE   = 42601 SQLSTATE RETURN CODE
