Problem IC64994
|
Status: Closed |
SYSIBM.INSERT AND SYSIBM.OVERLAY SCALAR FUNCTIONS RETURN SQL0138N, IF LENGTH>LENGTH(SOURCE-STRING)-START+1. |
| product: |
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 950 - DB2 |
| Problem description: |
The scalar functions SYSIBM.INSERT and SYSIBM.OVERLAY do not
allow a length argument that is greater than the length of the
string-expression - start + 1.
This behaviour is incompatible with SYSFUN.INSERT, and exisitng
applications might fail with SQL0138N.
For example:
$ db2 values INSERT('12345', 3, 4, 'abc')
1
--------
SQL0138N A numeric argument of a built-in string function is
out of range.
SQLSTATE=22011
As SYSIBM.OVERLAY works as the same manner as SYSIBM.INSERT,
OVERLAY also needs to be changed.SYSIBM.INSERT and
SYSIBM.OVERLAY will allow any 0 < length < 2147483647 (maximum
positive INTEGER value), if it means that it is beyond the end
of source-string, we will replace everything starting at "start"
position. |
