    Limitations:
    Users affected:
       All product users who have enabled multiple encoding and
       run SQL queries against Unicode tables that reside alongside
       EBCDIC tables on the same accelerator.
    Short summary:
       Certain DB2 for z/OS queries are incompatible with the
       product.
    Details:
       1. If the query contains a LIKE condition, and the string
          value of the condition is shorter than the value
          length of the column definition, the string value is
          padded with space characters so that its length
          matches the length of the column definition. However,
          the padding might change the string value in the query
          so that it no longer fits the purpose.
          Example: A column defined as CHAR(10) contains a
          string value "012345678". The query reads
          SELECT * FROM TABLE1 where COLUMN1 LIKE '0123456%_ '.
          The argument of the LIKE expression no longer fits its
          initial purpose because a space character is appended
          to the end of the string.
          Work-around: Use wildcards for characters at the end
          of the string, for example '0123456%' or '0123456___'.
       2. If a query contains character-based functions, such as
          RPAD(), to operate on strings in multi-byte encoding,
          DB2 for z/OS counts the bytes used by the strings,
          while the Netezza database counts the number of
          characters.
          Work-around: Add a 'CAST TO GRAPHIC' expression to the
          output SQL of the RPAD() function.
    
    Users affected:
       All users of IBM DB2 Analytics Accelerator for z/OS with
       Netezza Performance Server (NPS) 7.0.4.3 running SQL
       queries against Unicode tables that reside alongside
       EBCDIC tables on the same accelerator with multiple
       encoding function enabled
    Short summary:
       Query results differ when they are compared with results
       delivered by DB2 for z/OS.
    Details:
       1. Use of the TRANSLATE function might result in the
       truncation of space characters at the end of the result
       string.
       2. Query results differ if queries contain SUBSTRING()
       and LOCATE() functions that operate on the same table
       column.
