APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When an application issues the following SQL statement (which is
  valid for DB2), the GH JDBC driver outputs a parsing error to
  standard out (or the app server log, when running in WAS - see
  SystemOut-2,log attached):
  
  SELECT CURRENT DATE AS TODAY FROM SYSIBM.SYSDUMMY1
  
  This prevents a database stub from being created for that
  application, as stub creation does not work. RIT can see the SQL
  and the result set in the recording studio, but when it creates
  a db stub, the table in question is not included in the stub and
  the application will receive an error when run against such
  stub.
  
  As can be seen from the attached log, the error occurs when
  parsing the "AS" token from the above SQL.
  
  If the statement is changed to
  
  SELECT CURRENT DATE FROM SYSIBM.SYSDUMMY1
  
  then the error goes away.
  
  The following standard SQL:
  
  SELECT CURRENT_DATE AS TODAY FROM SYSIBM.SYSDUMMY1
  
  also works.
