When you open the drop-down list of functions you will find all of them, you will also find them in Appendix A of the Parallel Job Developer's Guide manual. I, for one, do not propose to regurgitate that here.

Lookup what error code CLI0109E means in DB2. It will help you to resolve this. It appears to relate to data larger than field size being sent.
