create table AA3 (CLIV CHAR(2), SSTT CHAR(1));
 INSERT INTO AA3 (CLIV,SSTT)  VALUES ('  ','2');
 COMMIT;
---errore expect "A  Z"  --> result "AZ"
select  'A'||(CASE    WHEN J01.CLIV = '  ' THEN '  '
    ELSE J01.CLIV   END)||'Z' as X
from AA3 J01;

---errore expect "A  "--> result "A"
select  'A'||(CASE    WHEN J01.CLIV = '  ' THEN '  '
    ELSE J01.CLIV 
  END) as X
from AA3 J01;

---errore expect "  Z"--> result "Z"
select  (CASE    WHEN J01.CLIV = '  ' THEN '  '
    ELSE J01.CLIV 
  END)||'Z' as X
from AA3 J01;

--WORKS - show "  "--> result "  "
select

    ELSE J01.CLIV 
  END) as X

select  'A'||(CASE    WHEN CLIV = '  ' THEN '  '    ELSE '  '  END)||'Z' from AA3

select  CONCAT ('A', x,'Z') FROM 
 (SELECT CASE    WHEN CLIV = '  ' THEN '  '    ELSE CLIV  END AS X from AA3)
