Re: SQL error causes all batch jobs to fail

David,

Item one:
You are in a multilingual environment. You should NOT use || or !!. You
should use concat instead. Much like the US Dollar sign will get changed
to various other characters in different character sets so will those
shortcuts for concat. In fact, everyone should avoid ||. Never can tell
when mergers or acquisitions may take place and put you in a multi ccsid
environment.

Item two:
SELECT DIGITS(myfield)!!'_'DIGITS(myotherfield) FROM mytable
You're missing the second concat between '_' and DIGITS(myotherfield).
