    Not so sure what you try to achieve but it works in DB2. Just add TRIM function at LIKE TRIM(B.COL1) || '%' or swap it to WHERE B.COL1 LIKE TRIM(A.COL1) || '%'

    [edit]
    Above works in DB2 in as/400(or whatever name they call it right now)

    Below might work with DB2 LUW (tested with DB2 windows v8.2), assuming COL1 type = varchar

    WHERE SUBSTR(A.COL1,1,LENGTH(A.COL1)) = SUBSTR( B.COL1, 1,LENGTH(A.COL1))
