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.
