Calling a DB2 stored procedure on z/OS might result in an infinite loop requiring that the job be cancelled. This seems to occur when there are parameters that are of a decimal data type but that alone does not cause the infinite loop. It appears to be a result of the number of parameters. There is no current workaround for this issue.

Also, if a schema is not specified during the call to a stored procedure, there is a risk that a SELECT statement that the code executes against SYSIBM.SYSPARMS might retrieve the wrong data. The only workaround is to add the schema to the stored procedure call.
