I am running one query and some of the fields are having null values. Now my requirement is i want to sum the unit cost field depending of part number.
Unit cost field is packed decimal S9(6)v9(03) comp-3.
If i try to sum then i am getting Soc 7.
How to replace null values with 0.
I am using Syncsort |

Mukesh,
both ideas are just plain wrong...
they just show that You do not have the slightest idea of what You are talking about
did You ever care to look at the db2 manuals for the meaning of NULL
NULLness is a concept not a value
meditate, please... meditate

Hey enricho,
I looked at the link you mentioned.
You explained NULL very well. by saying:
"to distinguish between low values and NULL value
every field must be defined os two tokens...
a flag and a value
the flag vill tell if the value has been assigned ( NOT NULL ) or not ( NULL)
so that You can process accordingly"
I knew the concept but it is very good for one who is learning.
Regards,
Abhishek |

Hello,
I may have gone a bit overboard, but i've changed the title to include "Syncsort" and removed most of the non-sort-related db2 replies.
On the original question, the 0c7 is due to incorrectly defined data or invalid data content.
If the data contails x'000000' and should be packed decimal, chnge it to x'00000C'. |

Thanks for your reply.
I used COALESCE command and replaced null value with zeros |

Hello,
Now i really am confused. . . 
How did you use coalesce in Syncsort?
Maybe it will help others (and me) if you post completely/clearly what was going on and how both Syncsort and DB2 are involved. . . |

Hi Dick,
maybe a user exit in sort to trigger some DB2 processing?
Any thing is possible, seeing some requirements (?) and/or
inventions here. |

Hi Peter,

Yup, it surely is.
I probably should have called a halt way back (like when i read the topic start . . . After a time, it appeared that there was no real continuity in the discussion and that Syncsort was mentioned (which does 0c7 on invalid numerics). Maybe i should have just left all of the clutter alone. . .
Hopefully, Sonali will clarify. . . |

Sorry for the confusion.
Input for my sort was coming from db2 query. Query returned null values and i was not able to sum those values.
so later i used coalesce command and replaced null values with zeros .
Now i can sum the fields. |

In real it made a confusion here, your post is moved to JCL Part while it belongs to DB2...try to be clear from the start of thread. That saves time for lots of people - please let us know where do you want to keep this thread now? |
