Error description
V10 made an incompatible changes to: VARCHAR(decimal) built-in function CAST (decimal AS VARCHAR) CAST (decimal AS CHAR) For example the incompatible changes for VARCHAR are : 1 - remove leading zero VARCHAR('00.10') V10 result is '.10' V9 result is '0.10' 2 - no trailing decimal point VARCHAR('1.') V10 result is '1' V9 result is '1.' The release incompatibility is recorded in V10 Install Guide Section : "Application and SQL release incompatibilities for migration from Version 9.1 " This APAR will deliver functionality in DB2, so for CHAR, VARCHAR, and CAST it semantically bahaves like v9. with BIF_COMPATIBILITY = 'V9_DECIMAL_VARCHAR' ( new ZPARM value) . IFCID 366 trace record also would be updated, to be written when the old semantics are used for the VARCHAR function and CAST specifications . The record will be the same as documented in APAR PM29124 IFCID 366 trace record except the field function type QW0366FN will have the value 2 instead of 1.

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All DB2 10 for z/OS users of decimal data * * with the VARCHAR function or CAST * * specification * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: In Version 10, the formatting of * * decimal data has changed for the * * VARCHAR function and the CAST * * specification with decimal input * * and VARCHAR or CHAR output. * * * * There are two changes: * * * * 1. Leading zeroes are removed * * from the input decimal value. * * * * 2. The decimal point is not returned * * if the scale of the decimal value * * is zero. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** After application of this PTF, the default behavior for the VARCHAR function and CAST specification with decimal input will revert to the DB2 9 for z/OS result if the BIF_COMPATIBILITY system parameter is set to the new value V9_DECIMAL_VARCHAR. Please refer to the DB2 9 for z/OS SQL Reference for documentation of the formatting of decimal data. Following are examples of the differences in the output of VARCHAR and CAST between V9 and V10 : - Remove leading zero VARCHAR(00.10) or CAST(00.10 AS VARCHAR(4)) or CAST(00.10 AS CHAR(4)) V10 result is '.10' V9 result is '0.10' - No trailing decimal point VARCHAR(1.) CAST(1. AS VARCHAR(2)) or CAST(1. AS CHAR(2)) V10 result is '1' V9 result is '1.' To help with migration to DB2 10 for z/OS and the impact of this change on DB2 applications, the following support is added: 1. This PTF adds a new setting to DB2 subsystem parameter BIF_COMPATIBILITY. The new value is V9_DECIMAL_VARCHAR. APAR PM29124 provided relief for the CHAR function incompatibility and provided a DB2 subsystem parameter, BIF_COMPATIBILITY with options V9 and CURRENT, to enable and disable it. This PTF increases the scope of DB2 subsystem parameter BIF_COMPATIBILITY to include VARCHAR, CAST( dec AS CHAR) and CAST( dec AS VARCHAR). It also adds a third option, V9_DECIMAL_VARCHAR. These settings allow you to specify whether: * The current-release format should be returned by all of these expressions (BIF_COMPATIBILITY=CURRENT) * The V9 format should be returned by all of these expressions (BIF_COMPATIBILITY=V9_DECIMAL_VARCHAR) * The current release format should be used by all of these expressions except the CHAR function which should return the V9 format (BIF_COMPATIBILITY=V9) +-------------------------------------------------+ | BIF_- | Example inputs and results (1) | | COMPAT- |---------------------------------------| | IBILITY | CHAR(000.1) | CHAR(1000.) | CHAR(1.1) | |---------|-------------|-------------|-----------| | CURRENT | '.1' | '1000' | '1.1' | |---------|-------------|-------------|-----------| | V9 | ' 000.1' | ' 1000.' | ' 1.1' | |---------|-------------|-------------|-----------| | V9_DEC- | | | | | IMAL_- | ' 000.1' | ' 1000.' | ' 1.1' | | VARCHAR | | | | +-------------------------------------------------+ +-------------------------------------------------+ | BIF_- | Example inputs and results (2) | | COMPAT- |---------------------------------------| | IBILITY | VARCHAR( 00.10 ) | VARCHAR( 1. ) | |---------|--------------------|------------------| | CURRENT | '.10' | '1' | |---------|--------------------|------------------| | V9 | '.10' | '1' | |---------|--------------------|------------------| | V9_DEC- | | | | IMAL_- | '0.10' | '1.' | | VARCHAR | | | +-------------------------------------------------+ For DB2 data sharing it is recommended that all members use the same setting. After applying this PTF, please refer to the ++HOLD directions to set the zparm value to V9_DECIMAL_VARCHAR if V9 results are desired. a. Static SQL If a package has been bound on V10 with static SQL then it must be rebound to pick up the new zparm value and return V9 results. If a package has been bound on V9 with static SQL then it will return V9 results. No rebind is necessary. b. Dynamic SQL Dynamic SQL will return V9 results once the new zparm value is set. Views, materialized query tables(MQTs),and index on expressions (IOEs) created before Version 10 will continue to get V9 behavior. 2. DB2 will write an IFCID 366 trace record when the V9 format is returned on DB2 10. The trace will be written out once per thread for a particular SQL statement. The trace record will help identify which applications need to be changed to support the new behavior. Note that if an index on expression(IOE) is created with VARCHAR/CAST in the index key, that the trace will be written during the execution of the INSERT SQL statement that inserts into the index. Likewise for a materialized query table (MQT), the trace record will be written on REFRESH TABLE. The trace can be started using the command: -start trace(p) class(32) ifcid(366) IFCID 366 was added by apar PM29124. This apar adds a new value for QW0366FN to indicate VARCHAR or CAST executed using the V9 semantics. QW0366FN F The value '1' indicates that the DB2 9 for z/OS SYSIBM.CHAR(decimal-expr) function has been executed. The value '2' indicates that the DB2 for z/OS Version 9 SYSIBM.VARCHAR(decimal-expr) function, CAST (decimal AS CHAR) or CAST (decimal AS VARCHAR) expression has been executed. 3. System schemas, SYSCOMPAT_V9 and SYSCURRENT, can be used in the current path special register or PATH bind option. These schemas can be used to override the zparm behavior for a particular application. The VARCHAR function has been added to these schemas by this PTF. Currently the CHAR function only exists in these schemas. The new schema names must be in front of SYSIBM in the path to be effective. The schemas and zparm value are used during function resolution to determine which CHAR or VARCHAR function will be invoked (V10 or V9). A bind, rebind, prepare or create must be done to change any existing application or object (MQT or IOE ) to use the new CHAR or VARCHAR function. The CAST specifications will only be controlled by the zparm. The schemas do not apply to CAST. --------------------------------------------------------------- To switch to new behavior in V10 : 1. Specify BIF_COMPATIBILITY zparm as V9_DECIMAL_VARCHAR 2. Monitor the 366 trace records to identify applications that may need changes for the new V10 behavior. 3. Change any affected applications to handle the new V10 VARCHAR and CHAR behavior. For CAST, rewrite it using the appropriate CHAR or VARCHAR function and a CAST to the correct length if needed. 4. Rebind/Prepare the package using the PATH with SYSCURRENT to use the new V10 CHAR and VARCHAR built-in functions. SYSCURRENT does not apply to CAST so CAST needs to be rewritten using one of the built-in functions. Note : For native stored procedures (SQLPL) and non-inline SQL scalar functions, follow the directions in bullet 3 for a package. 5. For views referencing these functions/casts, determine if the view needs to be changed to get the desired output. Drop and recreate the view using the path bind option with SYSCURRENT only if necessary. Then rebind any applications referencing the view using the path bind option with SYSCURRENT to use the new V10 CHAR or VARCHAR built-in functions. Note : For inline SQL scalar functions, follow the directions in bullet 4 for views. 6. For MQTs or IOEs referencing these functions/casts, drop and recreate the MQT or IOE using the path bind option with SYSCURRENT. Execute REFRESH TABLE for MQTs. Then rebind any applications referencing the MQT or IOE using the path bind option with SYSCURRENT to use the new V10 CHAR or VARCHAR built-in function. 7. Change the BIF_COMPATIBILITY zparm to CURRENT when all applications have been changed. New applications, rebinds, creates will use the new VARCHAR or CHAR or CASTs.

Issues being discussed in Delhi include countering the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and terrorism.
The subject of India sending troops to Iraq may also arise, reports say.
US-India ties have warmed in recent years, but some observers expect the new government to be more critical of US policy than its predecessor.
Delhi has so far refused to send troops for the Iraq operation.
A recent statement from India's Ministry of External Affairs expressed concern at the deteriorating security situation, which had "caused the violation of the sanctity of places of religious worship and monuments of great cultural significance".
'Dramatic improvement'
US Secretary of State Colin Powell said recently that he expected relations with India to keep improving - despite the new Communist-backed government in Delhi.
Analysts say the new Congress-led government could be more critical of US actions than the previous one, led by the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
Washington suspended military ties with India and Pakistan after they carried out nuclear tests in 1998, but they were restored after the countries backed US forces fighting in Afghanistan.
"There has been a dramatic improvement in Indo-US military-to-military relations during the past few years," a statement by the Indian defence ministry said.
The two countries held joint naval exercises two years ago, as well as signing a mutual secrecy protection agreement.
The agreement is required before exchanging information about defence-related research.

Isn't it unfair to deny gay people happiness?
Yes. And no. As horrible as it is to say, life is not fair, and neither is God. But He is just.
Let's start with the "no" answer. Am I really saying that it's fair for straight people to date, kiss, get married, and have sex while gays and lesbians are forbidden to live out even one of their most innocent fantasies? Well...yeah.
Look at this way: God didn't say "you can have anything and everything you want no matter what you do". Never. God constantly promises us everything we desire, but He always adds a condition. We have to obey Him. Would your parents lend you money and let you stay out late no matter how much of the furniture you had destroyed that day? Sad but true, maybe, but God is not a doormat, and we have to give in order to get. We can't ever forget that He Is God. Pure and simple.
So, no, in a way it is not at all unfair for God to ask something of us in order for us to happy. However...
No. It isn't fair. How many times did I cry to God about this! "I've tried everything; I've done all I can! Why can't I have just one date, one kiss, one night?" But nothing changed, and I only got more miserable - even when God did give me the very things I had asked for! Nothing ever made things right until I realized the plain truth that life and God are not at all fair. The rich get richer, the devout are killed in poverty. My best friends get married and start families, and I can never even check a guy out. But, hey. That's life. It's a tough lesson to learn, but it's true. God is not fair. He is just.
In teacher's college, they told us that fairness is not treating every student alike. If one of them needs special help, is it fair to make them do the same things as the rest of the class? Should some people be allowed to wear glasses while others can see without them? You get the point. Fair is not something you will ever see -- and that's not necessarily bad.
This you can trust: that God knows what He's doing.
One of the most prevalent promises in the Bible is that we will be hated, persecuted, killed, and tortured. If you miss the last few there and never get to kiss another girl, you could say you got the better deal.
So stop worrying about what's fair. What's real can be so much better.

It's Time To Kill Off Transitional DOCTYPES
One of the Accessites Criteria we insist upon for sites we judge is that they must have a Strict
DOCTYPE. Some people have queried why we insist on this. One answer would be "it's our site, it's our rules." That's not a very satisfactory answer though. So why should you use a strict
DOCTYPE? Well, we have four reasons.
- First, because the Transitional
DOCTYPEtells you to.
- Second, because it helps separate your presentation from your content.
- Third, because separating your presentation from your content is a good thing to do.
- Finally, because it's our site so it's our rules.
The Transitional
DOCTYPE tells you to use a Strict
You may not be aware, unless you've read the actual
DOCTYPE documents themselves (and frankly, who wants to do that?) that the HTML 4.01 Transitional
DOCTYPE tells you to avoid using the HTML 4.01 Transitional
DOCTYPE if you can.
"This is the HTML 4.01 Transitional DTD, which includes presentation attributes and elements that W3C expects to phase out as support for style sheets matures. Authors should use the Strict DTD when possible, but may use the Transitional DTD when support for presentation attribute and elements is required." –W3C
There is no direct reference in the XHTML 1.0 Transitional DOCTYPE, but it does point out that it should be treated as HTML Transitional except for changes due to XML.
"This is the same as HTML 4 Transitional except for changes due to the differences between XML and SGML." –W3C
A Strict
DOCTYPE forces separation of presentation and content
The elements that are banned by a strict
DOCTYPE include:
- Allows you to specify a default size, colour and typeface for the text on your page.
- Allows you to specify a size, colour and typeface for a specific part of your page.
- Creates a div element with an
- Allows you to embed a java applet into your document (deprecated in favour of object).
- Allows you to create types of lists which in practice are usually rendered identically to ul lists.
- Allows you to create a single line input box (deprecated in favour of appropriately used input.
- Allows you to add strike-through effects to your text.
- Allows you to add underline effects to your text.
The effects of all of these elements can either be produced by use of a different element, or by appropriate use of the CSS presentation layer. Banned attributes are similar: the
type, and
vspace attributes can all be replicated by the proper use of CSS, which keeps your code and your presentation separate.
Providing you're wanting to keep your presentation separated from your content, there is no reason why you should need to use a Transitional
DOCTYPE. In fact, I have encountered many sites which are using a Transitional
DOCTYPE unnecessarily — they are not using any presentation and the sites would validate against a Strict
DOCTYPE without needing to change any markup. If you don't need to use Transitional, why are you doing it?
Separating your presentation from your content is a Good Thing
Most web professionals today understand the reasons to produce sites that separate the content and the presentation. Presentation is provided by cascading style sheets, which allows the user to theoretically override your default settings with a style sheet of their own, whereas your content is the information that should be delivered to every user, regardless of the way they would like it presented.
Separating your content from your presentation makes it faster and easier to change the look of your site, and saving time saves money.
Separating your content from your presentation reduces the amount that needs to be downloaded by your users, because if the CSS is in a separate file it would normally be cached so it will only be downloaded once. Saving the amount downloaded reduces your bandwidth usage, which could again save you money.
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines tell you to do it as a priority 2 checkpoint : "3.3 Use style sheets to control layout and presentation."
What about new windows?
The point has been raised that using a Strict DOCTYPE prohibits using the
target attribute, so you can't use
target="_blank" to have a page open in a new browser window. Now, it's been said before that opening new windows is bad. It certainly stops commonly relied on things, such as the back button from working. Nonetheless, plenty of sites still continue to want to open new browser windows. Fine. I may disagree with your reasoning on this issue, but that's not stopping you from using a Strict
DOCTYPE. All you have to do is use the behavioural layer to create the new window. Roger Johansson of 456 Berea St has written an article that will show you how you can go about opening new windows with JavaScript.
So you can still open new windows if you really must, but your site behaviour has now been separated from your site content as well. Doesn't that make you feel good?
A Strict
DOCTYPE only removes the chance to use presentational or behavioural elements and attributes. If you aren't using these anyway — and you shouldn't be — then you've no reason to avoid the Strict
I'll still let you use a Transitional
DOCTYPE where you need to demonstrate the use of presentational or behavioural attributes or elements. Do we have a deal?

Novak Djokovic is now on his patch to ultimate tennis greatness and if you really want to know what that means you need to focus on his many setbacks rather than his success. Indeed he has played well in 2011 and accomplished a lot rising to the no.1 spot in one year is not easy and taking two Grand Slam titles is certainly not for the faint hearted which includes a win over Rafeal Nada in the final on Sunday to win the $7.5 million prize, however Djokovic relishes how he put aside he setbacks to win. Vegas odds
He has been unbeaten in a good 43 matches which dates back to the Davis Cup final which took place in December until that run ended against Roger Federer the 16 time Grand Slam champ in four sets just in last month's French open semifinals. Djokovic who got a hot welcome in his home town of Serbia later on Monday from thousands of fans who lined up to chant his name outside the national assembly building in Belgrade were probably devastated after his streak ended. Many people were predicting that he would go into a tailspin but after a short break he got back to Wimbledon and started a brand new winning streak. Basketball lines
He said at the All England Club during a short 10 minute interview with reporters "I'm proud of many things, to be honest, in this moment, but something that comes up to my mind is after having an incredible run, an incredible year up to Roland Garros, and then losing that really epic semifinal against Federer — a great match — I managed to recover and to come back in a great style and to win Wimbledon for the first time in my life," "I think that's something that I maybe wasn't managing to do in the past," "and right now, I am able to mentally switch off and just recover quickly and look to the next challenge." Betting lines
Djkovic said on Monday "But now I just didn't allow myself to get to that position anymore, because it's just not worth it. It's sport. You win; you lose," "And I have played good (against Federer). I didn't have anything to regret, because the (other) player was better that day. So I just needed to sleep, get some rest and come here and perform my best. And I have done that."

It's somebody's birthday today.
22 years ago today, my dad took me to the hospital to visit my new baby brother. Everyone was so excited for me to be the Big Sister, so I assume I believed it would be cool, too.
I don't remember walking through the hospital and arriving to my mom's room, but I've seen videos of how interested I was when I first met Brian. I touched him (too roughly) and I kissed him and I told him I loved him.
And then I got off the bed and said to my dad, "Okay, can we take him back now?"
As in, return him.
No, no, Colleen. He's coming home with us.
Jesus. Talk about the shock of the century.
I got over it eventually, and Brian quickly became (and has stayed) one of my very best friends. It's mainly because he makes me laugh like no one else can.
And because he used to let me dress him up and turn him into my sister "Brittany." And sometimes, if I'm lucky, I can still get him to color coordinate with me.
Brian is the life of party. And I mean that in the sense that he's literally one of those people who lights up a room when he enters it, and he has the ability to make everyone feel important. But, he's also really fun to party with 😉
After I graduated from college, Brian, Cory and I went backpacking through Europe for two weeks. I was shocked when so many people said things like "You want to travel with your brother for two weeks?" I think it's sad when people don't get along with their siblings.
We're close in age, we get along, we can laugh and be silly together and we lean on each other when we're a little shaky. Happy birthday, Brian! I'm so glad we didn't take you back 😉
Oh, and Brian, I've got one more thing to say to you. In the form of a blunt card.
Let's chat –
Wish my brother a happy birthday! 😀

MEG Physics
Magnetoencephalography (MEG) is a non-invasive measurement for the detection of the tiny magnetic field components originated from the information processes in the living human brain. Due to the excellent time resolution (within millisecond range) of MEG, the method is ideal for the investigation of fast neuromagnetic brain responses. The main focus of the MEG group is related to soft- and hardware developments and implementations in order to provide new concepts in the field of MEG data analysis. Combining different strategies for analysis and information from other modalities, such as high resolution magnetic resonance tomography (MRI), to improve for example MEG's source localization ability, is a primary element. The everlasting challenge here is to shift the limitations of the detectability and the accuracy of source localization of weak magnetic field components.
A further topic of research is related to real-time data analysis of brain responses utilizing MEG. For this, we work on the development and implementation of specific soft- and hardware components in collaboration with partner institutes from the Research Centre. In combination with neurofeedback techniques, real-time MEG data analysis offers a great potential for the development of novel diagnostic routines and therapy in neurology and psychiatry.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 7/2/2014 (1286 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The list of hotels famous enough to make their way into legend is a short one. There's the Chelsea, a hippy retreat in Manhattan; the Nacional, former headquarters to the U.S. Mafia in Havana; and the Savoy in London, where a cup of tea will set you back $10.
Add to that the creepy contenders in fiction: Stephen King's Overlook Hotel in the Colorado Rockies, and Hitchcock's low-end Bates Motel.
Then there's the Marlborough in Winnipeg.
The Marlborough? Setting aside the Fort Garry Hotel -- a more likely contender with its famously haunted suite of rooms -- first-time Winnipeg novelist Maureen Flynn has a go at immortalizing the elegant century-old hotel as the supernatural setting for her crime-cum-romance novel Buckle My Shoe.
Flynn has uncovered a lot of lore not generally known about the grand lady of Smith Street. Opened in 1914 and once favoured by Winston Churchill, the hotel was alleged to be home to a mysterious woman who played a white piano at midnight. Among other rumours, the hotel's basement was a place where departed souls gathered and hid from the living.
The elegant edifice serves as both sinister setting and charming character for a story told in two eras, switching back and forth between the Winnipeg of 1943 and that of 2013. We catch our first glimpse of room 503 in a city full of bustling streetcars and loitering soldiers, and it's here that a beguiling and guileless teenager was lured to her death. Changing focus to present-day Winnipeg, room 503 is now home to a troubled former homicide detective, one Steve Ascot, who makes his living as the head of hotel security.
Something invades Ascot's dreams, switches his radio to the nostalgia station and wakes him up in a cold sweat. Something haunts the elevator and frightens the staff. That something is gradually revealed as Edith, the teenager brutally murdered in Ascot's room. It seems her killer stole the brand new shoes she was wearing, and she wants them back -- along with a little justice.
The ambitious young woman who owns the hotel becomes its second murder victim. Ascot refuses to believe the woman -- found dead in the elevator, her throat pierced by a shard of glass from its mysteriously shattered mirrors -- was killed by a vengeful ghost.
After a satisfying number of twists and turns in the plot, plus the help of a well-meaning hotel clerk who can't mind her own business, Ascot proves he has what it takes to resume a promising career with the police.
Flynn, a freelance writer and columnist published in the Finding Your Happiness edition of Chicken Soup for the Soul, tells a mighty good story. Buckle My Shoe is a straightforward narrative told in declarative sentences with no pretense of the rich, sophisticated overlay one finds in the best, most seasoned detective writers, such as Americans John Sanford or Sue Grafton or any of the Scandinavian noir writers like Jo Nesbo or Stieg Larsson.
But as Walt Disney famously said, the writer's job is always the same: to restore order out of chaos. In Buckle My Shoe, Flynn had created engaging chaos and untangled it with considerable flair.
