What if you replace the double pipe with CONCAT?
(The double pipe is not international and may cause some problems)

Betreff: SQL with concantenate:

V7R1 with current cumulative and reasonably close groups:


When we try to run a statement with that concatenates fields (in this case
concatenating a couple fields to form a DESCRIPTION), the result is always
null. 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?
