Decode non-displayed char non-spaces - forum topic by shaikh.zoheb

Hi There,
We have a column say XXX as CHAR(2) CHARACTER SET LATIN NOT CASESPECIFIC NOT NULL
Data from a source DB2 system has been loaded in this column., when i query it it just shows as spaces in SQLA. But I am not able to trim OR apply a NULLIF(XXX,'') on this column, i.e. it has some value in it that is not space. How do i find the value and in which charset is it ?
If I do a CHAR2HEXINT(XXX) I get 0000. So i am not very clear on what is the value in this column.
