Hello all,

I am perplexed by this. Perhaps it's Friday and I am missing something.
I am attempting to search the TEXT column of table SYSIBM.SYSSTMT looking for a string LIKE '%TAIA%' or LIKE '%TASA%'. My query returns no hits. However, when I query the TEXT column of SYSIBM.SYSSTMT without a WHERE clause, I see these strings in the TEXT column. Can someone explain what might be going on?

Here is my query:
Code:

SELECT NAME, TEXT               
FROM SYSIBM.SYSSTMT             
WHERE                           
(                               
 TEXT LIKE '%TAIA%'             
 OR                             
 TEXT LIKE '%TASA%'             
)                               
ORDER BY NAME                   
       ;                       

and TEXT column (Row 3) shows:
Code:

3_|         DECLARE ADB2V . TAIAEMH TABLE ( PARTITION_MONTH CHAR ( 2 ) NOT NULL

So why does the query return no hit?
Thanks everyone.

mvsmlk,

Unless I am missing something, the syntax should be untested code

Code:

SELECT NAME
      ,TEXT               
  FROM SYSIBM.SYSSTMT 
 WHERE TEXT LIKE '%TAIA%' 
    OR TEXT LIKE '%TASA%' 
 ORDER BY NAME
 ;

Thank you for your quick response.

I just ran the code you supplied...
Still no hits...
Code:

PAGE    1
***INPUT STATEMENT:
 SELECT NAME
       ,TEXT
   FROM SYSIBM.SYSSTMT
  WHERE TEXT LIKE '%TAIA%'
     OR TEXT LIKE '%TASA%'
  ORDER BY NAME;
SUCCESSFUL RETRIEVAL OF          0 ROW(S)

well are you running this query in spufi or a program? if it is a program make sure it is looking at the production and not the test database. Did you rebind?

Ideally I would first test out the query in SPUFI/QMF and see if it is working there.

Second I would run the query

Code:

SELECT HEX(TEXT)
   FROM SYSIBM.SYSSTMT   


and I would see if the content in that column is valid hex character values.

An excellent suggestion to run using HEX(TEXT), as the query now seems to return rows, whereas using a CHAR compare it did not return rows....Wonder why. Any idea?
Does the fact that the TEXT column may be in UNICODE having anything to do with it?
Thanks again for your help.

By the way, you wouldn't happen to know how I can get rid of these SQLWARNING statements, would you?

Code:

PAGE    1
***INPUT STATEMENT:
 SELECT NAME
       ,HEX(TEXT) AS HEX_TEXT
  FROM SYSIBM.SYSSTMT
  WHERE
   HEX(TEXT) LIKE '%E3C1C9C1%'   ==> instead of LIKE '%TAIA%'
   OR
   HEX(TEXT) LIKE '%E3C1E2C1%'   ==> instead of LIKE '%TASA%'
  ORDER BY NAME;
SQLWARNING ON SELECT    COMMAND, FETCH     FUNCTION
 RESULT OF SQL STATEMENT:
 DSNT400I SQLCODE = 000,  SUCCESSFUL EXECUTION
 DSNT418I SQLSTATE   = 01004 SQLSTATE RETURN CODE
 DSNT416I SQLERRD    = 0  0  0  -1  0  0 SQL DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION
 DSNT416I SQLERRD    = X'00000000'  X'00000000'  X'00000000'  X'FFFFFFFF'  X'00000000'  X'00000000' SQL DIAGNOSTIC
          INFORMATION
 DSNT417I SQLWARN0-5 = W,W,,,, SQL WARNINGS
 DSNT417I SQLWARN6-A = ,,,,   SQL WARNINGS

etc...
Code:

  |                                                         HEX_TEXT                                                         |

mvsmlk,

Please use CODE tags. I have been editing your posts to add them. Take a look at this post and see how you can add code tags.

You haven't answered me as to how you are running the query so far. Based on your output I am guessing that you are running DSNTEP2 in batch. So I guess there is a mismatch in your CCSID defined for DSNTEP2(batch) and your Db2 table and that could be the reason as to why you couldn't find the values for character search.

I am not a big fan of DSNTEP2 at all. Agreed that it gives you formatted data of unprintable characters , it has lots of limitations such as the page width and extra garbage it prints out in the report at the beginning and at the end.

I would suggest that you use DSNTIAUL and you would get the raw data as is from the table in to the DD named SYSREC00

Check this link which explains in detail about How to run sample programs DSNTIAUL, DSNTIAD, and DSNTEP2

Hope this helps...

Cheers
