Comments after the FROM clause causes the error, "SQL0198N" (4231909)

When running a SQL Rewrite on a query where a comment exists after the FROM clause and it causes the following error:

[IBM][CLI Driver][DB2/AIX64] SQL0198N the statement string of the PREPARE or EXECUTE IMMEDIATE statement is blank or empty. SQLSTATE=42617

Example query to cause the error:

Select *
From
--Table1 comment,
Table_2;

But if the comment is taken out, it rewrites fine.

WORKAROUND:
None. Delete any comments in the query to allow the rewrite to work.

STATUS:
Waiting for a fix in a future release of Toad for DB2.
