A LEFT OUTER JOIN can allow nulls into the mix. Your FETCH doesn't look it has null indicators for each field that can be null. When removing the fields from the "right side" of the LEFT JOIN, you're not going to have the problem. I usually don't use nulls so not sure what the syntax for null indicators is. You might be able to find help from Google or the SQL docs on that.
