strange sql system error 901 has cropped up

["SANTOSH PRASAD" <santoshp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have  a curious case.
We have V4R5 running ok for the past 2 years. All the programs were also
running ok since then.
4 days back, an IPL and a complete backup was taken ( thats a regular
affair on a monthly basis). Everything was normal during the backup and IPL
procedure.

But few of the SQL statements in a few programs now has started failing now
and then with SQLCODE 901.

Interestingly,all these SQL statements are having subselects. At times ,
the SQL runs successfully and at times in another session, it fails.I am
giving the SQL statement.
SELECT ID_PROCSPC
                   FROM FPPCCPDLDB/V_PPRCCHRT
WHERE  CD_TYPRCSP = 'A'      AND
PROC_CHTNO IN (SELECT  PROC_CHTNO FROM FPPCCPDLDB/V_PTDCPRLN
               WHERE PROC_CHTNO LIKE '%S'   AND
               TDC_NO IN (SELECT TDC_NO FROM FPPCCPDLDB/V_PTDCNO
                        WHERE STL_QLTYCD = 'T01018'))

The dspjoblog when query is successful is as
follows.................................................
