I copy pasted your select stmt that threw the error, carefully replaced
table and column names without removing any spacing and ran ok.
Are you copying the statement from a source that might have hidden
characters?

Subject: Interactive SQL with concatination
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.
