Re: put on 7.4 TR4, now getting a SQL error

this sql statement had a bad COALESCE, in that it was a numeric field, but
I was replacing it with a blank...


7.4 memo to users has been updated:

Queries that compare a numeric value with blanks or an empty string will
fail with SQLSTATE/SQLCODE ‘22023’/-302 or '53045'/-678 Previous to PTF
SI76030 on IBM i 7.4 and PTF SI76035 on IBM i 7.3, a query that included an
invalid comparison between a numeric value and blank(s) or a numeric value
and an empty string would not result in an SQL failure. Blank characters
and empty strings are both incompatible with numeric values. Any such
queries will now fail with SQLSTATE: '22023'/-302 or '53045'/-678.
