Has anyone run into this issue. Normally, using || between strings will concatenate them into a single string. However, when using Toad, the Characters do not seem to convert correctly and you get a -418 A STATEMENT STRING TO BE PREPARED CONTAINS AN INVALID USE OF PARAMETER MARKERS.
I know other ways around it, but I should not have to jump through hoops to get existing SQL that works on z/OS to work in Toad.
