PH35541: INCORRECT VALUE/SCALE FOR EXPRESSION INVOLVING OPERATION BETWEENBIGINT CONSTANT AND DECIMAL VALUE

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In native mode, the scale of an SQL expression involving an
  operation between a BIGINT constant and a DECIMAL value
  (constant, column, SQL expression) is not compliant with Db2
  rules.
  
  When evaluating an operation involving a BIGINT constant and a
  decimal value, Db2 HPU casts the BIGINT constant into a
  DECIMAL(p, 0) where p stand for the number of digits of the
  constant instead of DECIMAL(19,0) as described by the Db2
  specifications. Depending on the values involved in the
  operation, the result can have an incorrect value and/or an
  incorrect scale.
