DB2 - Problem description

Problem IT01118 Status: Closed

NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER 1ST-14TH 1582 INCORRECTLY RETURNS JULIAN CALENDAR
DAYS INSTEAD OF USING GREGORIAN CALENDAR

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / A50 - DB2
Problem description:
As per Western calendar, Gregorian Calendar is used on and after 
15 October 1582.  DB2 incorrectly uses Julian Calendar for 
November 1582 and December 1st-14th 1582. 
 
The APAR may cause incorrect value returned by DAYNAME scalar 
function. 
 
For example the following SQL statements incorrectly returns 
'Thursday' instead of 'Monday'. 
 
VALUES DAYNAME ('1582-11-01');
