ColdFusion 2016 and stored proc throwing invalid character error - db2

Question

I am trying existing code in a CF 2016 install... I get this error
"[Macromedia][DB2 JDBC Driver][DB2]ILLEGAL SYMBOL =; VALID SYMBOLS ARE ..."
the line identified is a param of a stored proc call that looks like this:
<cfstoredproc datasource="#application.dsn#" procedure="LIVE.STOPS">
<cfprocparam type="In" cfsqltype="CF_SQL_BIGINT" dbvarname="STOPID" value="#val( variables.procstopid )#" null="no">
<cfprocparam type="In" cfsqltype="CF_SQL_INTEGER" dbvarname="TRIPID" value="#val( url.tripId )#" null="no">
</cfstoredproc>
I cannot find any mention on line of a change in stored proc tag - maybe the DB2 driver? I'm looking for any input. Thanks.
Other info;
Windows10, Apache2.4, connectiong to DB2 v10.
#pendo, Here is the stored proc - it should be noted that I abbreviated some of the sql, but the SP works and has for a long time in the app running CF10.
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE LIVE.STOP(
