DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC81496 Status: Closed

QUERIES WITH LIKE OPERATORS MIGHT RETURN INCORRECT RESULTS DUE TO AN
INVALID HIGHEST PADDING CHARACTER

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 980 - DB2
Problem description:
SQL statements with LIKE operators might not return the correct 
rows that are expected to be returned. This problem arises when 
all the following conditions are met: 
 
a) Unicode database using language aware collation is involved. 
b) The SQL statement includes a LIKE predicate or a substring 
function involved in a basic predicate. 
c) The LIKE predicate compares UTF-8 strings that contains 
characters encoded between 0xEE8080 to 0xEFBFBF. 
d) The EXPLAIN statement  shows the predicate filter rows by 
start or stop key predicate. 
 
Affected platforms: AIX 64-bit, Linux 64-bit System z 
(linux390), Linux 32-bit, linux 64 bit PPC 
 
After applying a fix pack or an APAR, perform the following 
steps: 
 
1. Rebind all packages using the db2rbind all command. 
2. Refresh the MQTs using the REFRESH TABLE command.
