| PS Query | Getting Started with PeopleSoft Query > PeopleSoft Query Overview | Added a note: Note.

| PS Query | Creating and Running Simple Queries > Creating New Queries > Viewing and Editing Query Properties > Distinct field | Added a note: Note. In Oracle databases, PeopleSoft LongCharacter fields use the CLOB datatype when their length definition exceeds 1333. Since CLOBS (and other binary datatypes) are not valid columns for all operators, all queries that have LongCharacter fields' length definition exceeds 1333 should not include the DISTINCT operator. |
| PS Query | Working with Advanced Query Options > Working with Unions | Added a note: Note. In Oracle databases, PeopleSoft LongCharacter fields use the CLOB datatype when their length definition exceeds 1333. Since CLOBS (and other binary datatypes) are not valid columns for all operators, all queries that have LongCharacter fields' length definition exceeds 1333 should not include the UNION operator |

| PeopleCode Language Reference | Built-in Functions | For the GetEnv built-in function, clarified that because the input string is converted to all uppercase, the _env_var_ parameter is case-insensitive.
