when I run my db2 command I get the error:
An sql error "-7" occurred while processing the select string action string paramater.
What does it mean?

SQL0007N The character "<character>" following "<text>" is
not valid.

Explanation:

The specified "<character>" is not a valid character in SQL
statements. The "<text>" field indicates the 20 characters of
the SQL statement that preceded the character that is not
valid.

Federated system users: some data sources do not provide the
appropriate values for the "<character>" and "<text>" message
tokens. In these cases, "<character>" and "<text>" will have the
following format: "<data source>:UNKNOWN", indicating that the
actual values for the specified data source are unknown.

The statement cannot be processed.

User Response:

Remove or replace the character that is not valid.

sqlcode : -7
