If a user defined SQL statement contains a semi colon (ie. ' ; ') in the Oracle legacy stage, an error occurs when trying to 'View Data' in the DataStage client

Troubleshooting


Problem

In DataStage Designer, when the user defined SQL has a semi colon in an Oracle legacy stage (not Oracle connector stage), for example, select instr('abc',';') RESULT from dual clicking on 'View Data', the following error is seen: [0001]ORA_1756_87..Oracle_OCI_0: ORA-01756: quoted string not properly terminated [0002]ORA_1756_87..Oracle_OCI_0.DSLink1: DSP.Open GCI $DSP.Open error -100.
