What if you try to cast the LISTAGG to a CLOB

Subject: SQL LISTAGG() built-in function


I have a SQL statement that works great using the LISTAGG() built in
function.

But once I wrap the SQL with "Create table QTEMP/fileA as ( " ....... ")
with data" to create a work file, the field from the LISTAGG becomes blanks.
No sql errors, all other fields from the select statement are in the qtemp
file.

Working SQL statement:
Select b.vqvend, b.vqocde, b.VQREV, b.VQQPRV, VQLIN, VQNTYP,
b.VQCRTU, min(b.VQCRTZ) AS CRTDATE,
listagg(cast(b.VQNOTE as char(150)) on overflow truncate) as notes
From RQ009PF b Join RQ001PF a on b.vqvend = a.vqvend and
b.vqocde = a.vqocde and b.vqrev = a.vqrev and b.vqqprv = a.vqqprv
Where a.VQDATE >= '2020-01-21' And a.VQDATE <= '2020-01-21'
Group by b.VQVEND, b.VQOCDE, b.VQREV, b.VQQPRV, VQLIN, VQNTYP, b.VQCRTU
Order by b.VQVEND, b.VQOCDE, b.VQREV, b.VQQPRV, VQLIN, VQNTYP, b.VQCRTU

Failing SQL statement:
Create table QTEMP/Fila as (
Select b.vqvend, b.vqocde, b.VQREV, b.VQQPRV, VQLIN, VQNTYP,
b.VQCRTU, min(b.VQCRTZ) AS CRTDATE,
listagg(cast(b.VQNOTE as char(150)) on overflow truncate) as notes
From RQ009PF b Join RQ001PF a on b.vqvend = a.vqvend and
b.vqocde = a.vqocde and b.vqrev = a.vqrev and b.vqqprv = a.vqqprv
Where a.VQDATE >= '2020-01-21' And a.VQDATE <= '2020-01-21'
Group by b.VQVEND, b.VQOCDE, b.VQREV, b.VQQPRV, VQLIN, VQNTYP, b.VQCRTU
Order by b.VQVEND, b.VQOCDE, b.VQREV, b.VQQPRV, VQLIN, VQNTYP, b.VQCRTU
) with data

The file is created but the notes field is blanks.
Casting to the maximum size "cast(listagg(cast(b.VQNOTE as char(150))) AS
char(1050)) as notes" didn't help either.

Any ideas?

Thanks
Ron
