Status: Closed |
LPAD/RPAD RETURN EMPTY STRING INSTEAD OF NULL IN ORA-MODE DATABASE |
| product: |
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / B10 - DB2 |
| Problem description: |
Builtin functions SYSIBM.LPAD and SYSIBM.RPAD should return NULL
instead of an empty string in an ORA-mode database. In DB2
v11.1.2 only, if all the arguments are constants, and the second
argument is 0, an empty string is returned instead of the
expected NULL:
values (lpad('abc',0), length(lpad('abc',0)))
1 2
- -----------
0
1 record(s) selected.
The correct result should be:
values (lpad('abc',0), length(lpad('abc',0)))
1 2
- -----------
- -
1 record(s) selected. |
