Problems with Query on V4R5

Hey all,

Whilst searching through the archives, I came across the following message.

my employer has a client who is experiencing the exact same problems.

they just applied hypers, cumes, etc. on a V4R5 box, and several querys
that ran before suddenly are blowing up:

Message ID . . . . . . :   MCH1210       Severity . . . . . . . :   40
Message type . . . . . :   Escape
Date sent  . . . . . . :   05/01/02      Time sent  . . . . . . :

Message . . . . :   Receiver value too small to hold result.

our guy in charge of this is currently putting out another fire and is
unavailable, so I'm just trying to do a little leg work for him.

I've searched the apars and ptf cover letters at ibm support, to no avail.

does anyone have any info on why

Be sure you have the latest DB PTF's applied. We too had some queries that
run every day. All of the sudden, a query bombs with some kind of strange
pointer error. The object description of the QRYDFN says that the object
hasn't been changed since we restored it from our upgrade a year ago. The
files are open order header and detail files so I know they didn't change.
The real funny thing is that the next day, without any changes, the query
ran fine.  I called tech support and they told me about the latest DB
PTF's. I thought I had them on but IBM must be changing them like
underwear. It's a full time job keeping up with the fixes and patches
between OS/400, DB2, Domino, and WDT400. I really feel for shops that have
more than one system.

Ok, rant over for today.
