PRO restricted status

Persistent Read Only (PRO) restricted status indicates that only read access by SQL or utilities is allowed for the table space partition; all updates to the partition are prohibited.

SQL or utilities that attempt to update a partition that is in PRO status receive a resource unavailable error. When one or more partitions are in PRO status, run utilities that update data at the partition level.

PRO status is turned on by a system administrator or database administrator or by a product that runs with Db2 for z/OS®. PRO status can be set on a partition by using the REPAIR utility SET statement.
