Reason:

A syntax error has been detected during statement completion. The description in the message is up to 50 bytes of the last syntax processed before the error.

Note: Because SQL received a copy of the user's statement that may have been edited by an SQL preprocessor, an exact offset to the syntax error cannot be provided in the message.

The SQLSTATE that equates to this SQL return code is 42601.

Action:

Correct the syntax of the statement in question.
