Accessing an external table in fixed format may incorrectly
return SQL20570N if a DECIMAL data type field length is the same
as the column length.
Here is an example of the issue:
$ db2 "select * from external '/files/ext_txt2'(c1 decimal(8,4))
using (format fixed layout(c1 decimal bytes 8))"
C1
----------
SQL20570N The statement failed because the number of rejected
rows exceeds
the limit set in the MaxErrors option value. Log file name:
"GRAPE120.DB2INST1.SYSTET62030.ext_txt2.00000007.0000021.log".
SQLSTATE=22551
$ db2 "select * from external '/files/ext_txt2'(c1 decimal(7,4))
using (format fixed layout(c1 decimal bytes 8))"
C1

1: 1(8)[1, NUMERIC(8,4)] missing field - fillRecord not enabled,
"456.1234"[0x0a]
though this works:
$ db2 "select * from external '/files/ext_txt2'(c1 decimal(7,3))
using (format fixed layout(c1 decimal bytes 8))"
