DB2 - Problem description

Problem IT06107 Status: Closed

ROUND AND TRUNCATE FUNCTIONS WITH DB2_COMPATIBILTY_VECTOR=ORA GIVES
EXPONENT RESULT FORM FOR CALCULATION.

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / A50 - DB2
Problem description:
When using Oracle application number mode semantics via 
DB2_COMPATIBILTY_VECTOR 
settings of: 
ORA (enable full Oracle compatibility) 
0x10 (enable only Oracle number mode semantics) 
 
The ROUND FUNCTION incorrectly converts the output to normalized 
exponent form: 
 
db2 select round(3344*3/23*3,-1) from sysibm.sysdummy1 
 
1 
------------------------------------------ 
                                   1.31E+3 
 
The correct format in the above example should be: 
1310 
 
The TRUNCATE function also has the same issue.
