I'm looking for a canonical list of QAQQINI options? I didn't read all
the cover letters of all the PTFs I loaded in the last cume and I have
an SQL problem I'd like to try to fix.


Background:
I'm suffering from an SQL behaviour change after applying cume 9104 to
V5R4, and I have very few options. The data has decimal data errors; it
will continue to get decimal data errors and it'll take months to nail
all the holes. When someone says 'legacy' in a pejorative manner, this
is what they mean. Anyway, I know I need to fix all of my application
issues; that's not SQL's fault.

What IS the fault of SQL is that my complex SQL SELECT with UNION over
the bad data used to work. Now it throws a CPF5033 (select/omit error -
no useful info), SQL0802 (data conversion error - no useful info) and
CPD4019 (select/omit error - unreadably useless information: wrong table
name, non-existent column number) Example message text: A select or
omit error occurred in record 0, record format *FIRST, member number 1
of file XXXMST in library XXXXXXX, because of condition 6

Previously, the SELECT quietly returned all rows and posted no errors.
My problem is that my users can no longer use the inquiry program
because it no longer returns all the records.

It's all my fault, I know. I *ought* to have read every cover letter of
every PTF in the cume and I didn't. I'm sure this behaviour change is
documented in there somewhere, but I can't locate it online.

My choices are few. I can roll back the cume, I can apply the latest DB
and HIPER groups or I can try to emulate the dynamic SQL with native RPG
I/O. Well, there's one more option - load all the PTFs that mention
CPF4019 et al.

Having learnt my lesson from the cume, I'm reading the cover letters,
which is lots of fun - the boss appreciates the work I'm not getting
done - and I come across this ditty in MF47206: ' A new service
QAQQINI option is provided to disable the MQT and RI matching
algorithm. QAQQINI option *SERVICE_AK should be set to *YES to
disable the RI matching algorithm.'

Great. A new QAQQINI option. And my wondering as to where I can find
these things documented, because the new options being delivered by PTF
aren't in the Infocentre.
