This is weird ...

There are two SQL statements below, the first gives an error and the second
does not.

These were entered in the STRSQL on a V7R3 system current on PTF's as at
June 2018

The only difference is the positioning of the concatenation.

Job CCSID is 37

Why is this so ?

Both run in ACS Run SQL Scripts

select substr(digits(dtrtdt),1,4) || '-' ||
substr(digits(dtrtdt),5,2) || '-' ||
right(digits(dtrtdt),2) as iso_date
from mfsdtrpf
Token was not valid. Valid tokens: ( + - ? : DAY INF LAG NAN RID R

select substr(digits(dtrtdt),1,4) || '-'
|| substr(digits(dtrtdt),5,2) || '-'
|| right(digits(dtrtdt),2) as iso_date
from mfsdtrpf
SELECT statement run complete.
