Re: Interactive SQL with concatination

Is the result the same if you hand key the statements in STRSQL vs copy and paste? If so I think you might have a tab character in the failing statement.

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.
