Error description
OpenJPA's are not handling parameter casting for function calls in SQL properly and also not handling many SQL language constructs, especially nested function calls. The current implementation only processes the last parameter in the function call plus it uses the wrong "cast to" type. The solution to this problem is to process every parameter with the "cast to" semantics, whenever it applies, at the point each parameter is processed (appendTo()), rather than process them in batch at the later time.

Problem conclusion
OpenJPA has been corrected so that the Criteria API no longer inserts the incorrect type cast. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix packs 8.0.0.6 and 8.5.0.2.
