DB2- How to check if varchar field value has integers

Question

Is there an inbuilt DB2 function or any query to check if the character i have is a number? (I cannot use user defined functions)

Answer 1

There are many approaches. Take a look at that solution using only two functions:

CASE
    WHEN REPLACE(TRANSLATE(test_str, '0','123456789','0'),'0','') = ''
    THEN 'All digits'
    ELSE 'Not all digits'
END

In general - less functions - better performance :)
