ABEND04E RC00E70005 IN DSNXRSBC P016 FOR A QUERY WITH GETHINT FUNCTION AND NO HINT IS SPECIFIED
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All DB2 9 and DB2 10 for z/OS users who use * * the GETHINT built-in function to retrieve * * the hint for the password with which the * * data were encrypted. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: ABEND04E RC00E70005 in DSNXRSBC P016 * * may occur when the GETHINT built-in * * function is used to retrieve the hint * * for the password with which the data * * of a NOT NULL column were encrypted * * but there was no hint specified during * * data encryption. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** ABEND04E RC00E70005 in DSNXRSBC P016 may occur when the GETHINT built-in function is used to retrieve the hint for the password with which the data of a NOT NULL column were encrypted but there was no hint specified during data encryption. ========= EXAMPLE ========= CREATE TABLE PM83404 (C1 CHAR(250) NOT NULL); -- set encryption password without hint SET ENCRYPTION PASSWORD ='Ben123'; INSERT INTO PM83404 VALUES('ABCDEFGH') ; -- abend occurs SELECT GETHINT(ENCRYPT_TDES(C1)) FROM PM83404; DB2 has incorrectly set the result nullability of GETHINT to NOT NULL when the argument is NOT NULL, which causes the abend and incorrect nullability information in DESCRIBE, DSNTIAUL sample program, and dynamic SQL processing programs such as SPUFI, DSNTEP2, and DSNTEP4. The result nullability of GETHINT should be 'nullable'.
Problem conclusion
DB2 code has been modified to handle the GETHINT built-in function correctly. Additional keywords: SQLDECRYPT SQLENCRYPT SQLNULL SQLGETHINT
