  ABEND0C7 RC00000000 at the location DSNXGRDS DSNXRDEC
  OFFSET59BC could happen for an SQL statement that satisfies all
  of the following conditions:
  
  1. It contains a table expression with UNION ALL.
  2. It contains a HAVING predicate with scalar function ABS,
     SIGN, CEILING or ROUND.
  3. The scalar function contains a SUM function in the input
     expression.
  4. The SUM function is on a DECIMAL column of the table
     expression.
  5. The DECARTH DECP value is DEC31 or 31, and the DECIMAL column
     is with precision 15.
  
  An example is shown below:
  
  CREATE TABLE T1 (
     C1 DECIMAL(15, 0)
  );
  CREATE TABLE T2 (
     C1 DECIMAL(15, 0)
  );
  
  INSERT INTO T1 VALUES(11.1);
  INSERT INTO T1 VALUES(12.1);
  INSERT INTO T2 VALUES(21.1);
  INSERT INTO T2 VALUES(22.1);
  
  SELECT ABS(SUM(C1))
  FROM (SELECT C1
          FROM T1
        UNION ALL
        SELECT C1
          FROM T2
        ) TX(C1)
  HAVING ABS(SUM(TX.C1)) > 0;
  
  DB2 did not correctly process the aforementioned SQL statement,
  which caused the ABEND.
  

Problem conclusion

• DB2 has been modified to correctly process the aforementioned
  SQL statement, so there will be no ABEND.
