Add an extra space around your "," so ,5,2) becomes , 5 , 2) - because
if you are in "europa mode" for some reason it will be read as a decimal
signe and not as comma delimiters

My first comment is that || for concatenation isn't recommended (should
use CONCAT). Normally the problem is CCSID, but that shouldn't be the
issue is both jobs are 37.

So the only difference is whether the || appears at the end of beginning
of the line? My 7.3 runs both fine.

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.
