Alter Table causes SQL0901N ( SQLSTATE=58004 )

[Chris]

Hi,

I am trying to run the following SQL through the DB2 command line for
version 9.1.0:

alter table SCHEMA.TABLE1
drop column A;

alter table SCHEMA.TABLE2
alter column B set data type decimal(15,4);

* Column B was Integer.

The commands both successfully return:
DB20000I The SQL command completed successfully.

However, when I try and run a seemingly un-related query (i.e. The
query does not directly reference either TABLE1 or TABLE2 although
they do both have foreign key relationships with the query) I get the
following error:

ERROR [58004] [IBM][DB2/NT] SQL0901N The SQL statement failed because
of a non-severe system error. Subsequent SQL statements can be
processed. (Reason "column number out of range".) SQLSTATE=58004

I have tried reorg on all the tables in both the above SQL and my
query.
Any help would be much appreciated.

As always with -901s please call support. I recall issues with "column
number out of range" after ALTERs. So there is a reasonable chance that
support will point you to an existing APAR.

Cheers
Serge
