Hi Jim,

At first I thought it defines COLUMN_VALUE based on the first value, e.g. S.SECURITY_LEVEL, so I tried wrapping it in VARCHAR().  It didn't help. So I wrapped them all in VARCHAR() and that worked:

select HEADING, COLUMN_VALUE
  from qsys2.security_info s,
        lateral(values
  ('SECURITY_LEVEL', VARCHAR(S.SECURITY_LEVEL)),
  ('PENDING_SECURITY_LEVEL', VARCHAR(S.PENDING_SECURITY_LEVEL)),
  ('PASSWORD_LEVEL', VARCHAR(S.PASSWORD_LEVEL)),
  ('AUDITING_LEVEL', VARCHAR(S.AUDITING_LEVEL)),
  ('AUDIT_JOURNAL_RECEIVER', VARCHAR(S.AUDIT_JOURNAL_RECEIVER))
   ) AS T(HEADING, COLUMN_VALUE) ;

I was testing on PUB400, and S.PENDING_SECURITY_LEVEL was null, which may or may not have anything to do with how it defines COLUMN_VALUE.

This works perfectly for all the integer columns in the row, but fails with

I suspect the problem is COLUMN_VALUE is getting defined as an integer,
what I don't know is how to make it a VARCHAR when needed.
This is where my limits of SQL come blazing out. Suggestions?

select HEADING, COLUMN_VALUE
from qsys2.security_info s,
lateral(values ('SECURITY_LEVEL', S.SECURITY_LEVEL),
('PENDING_SECURITY_LEVEL', S.PENDING_SECURITY_LEVEL),
('PASSWORD_LEVEL', S.PASSWORD_LEVEL),
('AUDITING_LEVEL', S.AUDITING_LEVEL),
('AUDIT_JOURNAL_RECEIVER', S.AUDIT_JOURNAL_RECEIVER)
) AS T(HEADING, COLUMN_VALUE);

Results:
SECURITY_LEVEL redacted
PENDING_SECURITY_LEVEL
PASSWORD_LEVEL redacted

Given the incredibly simple SQL statement :
SELECT * FROM QSYS2.SECURITY_INFO ;

Is there a way to get the results which include many columns to show up
as
a list as opposed to one very wide row? (from SQL Scripts in ACS)
