DB2 Error codes


Error code can be handled in the program by using SQLCODE validation after each query executed. Most of very frequent error codes described below. The SQLCODE is equal to 000, the query executed successfully. If the SQLCODE is positive, Then the Query executed with Warning. If the SQLCODE is negative, then the Query returns errors.
