SYMPTOMS
When you are executing a query against the DB2OLEDB driver, you may experience an error message similar to this:
Interface: Unknown Result: 0x80004005 = E_FAIL
This error will occur if you are trying to retrieve a DB2 data column that is more than 300 bytes in length, with the host character code set identifier (CCSID) set to "290". The ODBC driver would work fine.
CAUSE
SNANLS.dll, which handles converting single-byte character stream (SBCS) EBCDIC-to-Unicode-to-ANSI and SBCS ANSI-to-Unicode-to-EBCDIC, was overrunning a static buffer.
