Instead of any cool tool use DSPFFD on this table. Paste the full
definition of both the original columns. Field type, size, CCSID,
everything.
Any warnings, etc from the joblog?
This works:
CREATE TABLE ROB/JIMO (FRBKNBR DEC (7 , 0), FRBKRQST DEC (5 , 0),
FRBKNBRA CHAR (7 ), FRBKRQSTA CHAR (5 ))
INSERT INTO ROB/JIMO VALUES(1, 1, '1', '1')
SELECT FRBKNBR as REQ,
FRBKRQST as RQST,
(FRBKNBR || ' - ' || FRBKRQST) as DESCRIPTION
from rob/jimo
....+....1....+....2....+....3..
REQ RQST DESCRIPTION
1 1 1 - 1
******** End of data ********
That was concatenating the numerics.

When we remove the || and just return one of the fields without any concatenation, it comes back fine. Both columns are defined as DDS character. Example: SELECT FRBKNBR as REQ, FRBKRQST as RQST, (FRBKNBR || ' - ' || FRBKRQST) as DESCRIPTION We get REQ and RQST just fine, but DESCRIPTION comes back as null SQL gurus: Any thoughts?
