APAR Error Description / Circumvention

-----------------------------------------------
Wrong results may be produced for a query involving a LEFT OUTER
JOIN if the join predicate contains a value derived from a
column value. If that same derived value is included in the
query output by the SELECT clause, the value may be incorrect
for some rows. Note that the derivation may be explicit (e.g.
SUBSTR) or implicit (a cast of a numeric value to a character
value).

CORRECTION FOR APAR MA45434 :
-----------------------------
In order to improve the speed of query results, the SQE
optimizer evaluates values only when necessary. Because of the
column value's presence in the join predicate, the optimizer
concluded that the column value had already been evaluated by
the right side of the LEFT OUTER JOIN. However, this assumption
did not hold for the join exception row, leading to an
unspecified value being produced for exception rows. This fix
ensures that the value is unconditionally evaluated after the
join so that the correct value accompanies all rows.

CIRCUMVENTION FOR APAR MA45434 :
