Could it be two (or more) records in SYSIBM.SYSDUMMY1? There should be just one.

I have an SQL view that is basically doing the following, in addition to a bunch of other stuff:

SELECT
CASE WHEN (SELECT 1 FROM SYSIBM.SYSDUMMY1) IS NOT NULL
THEN 'I am awesome'
ELSE 'The computer has won' END
FROM SYSIBM.SYSDUMMY1

This was working fine until the subselect ended up being 2 rows such as this:

SELECT
CASE WHEN (SELECT 1 FROM SYSIBM.SYSDUMMY1
UNION SELECT 2 FROM SYSIBM.SYSDUMMY1 ) IS NOT NULL
THEN 'I am awesome'
ELSE 'The computer has won' END
FROM SYSIBM.SYSDUMMY1

This gives the following Message: [SQL0811] Result of SELECT more than one row.

It looks like I should be able to use an EXISTS predicate, but I can't seem to get that to work either.

SELECT
CASE WHEN EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM SYSIBM.SYSDUMMY1)
THEN 'I am awesome'
ELSE 'The computer has won' END
FROM SYSIBM.SYSDUMMY1

This gives the follwing Message: [SQL0104] Token EXISTS was not valid. Valid tokens:<IDENTIFIER> <INTEGER> <CHARSTRING> <GRAPHSTRING>

Using IN didn't work either, giving the following Message: [SQL0115] Comparison operator IN not valid.

I'm not quite sure what else to try, any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
