Error description

• SYSCAT.COLUMNS and SYSIBM.SYSCOLUMNS may show INLINE_LENGTH of 0
  for a table's LOB columns following ALTER TABLE DROP COLUMN
  statements against the table. This issue can be seen when
  dropping a column earlier than a LOB column in the table
  definition.
  
  ie. when dropping a column of a table where the COLNO for the
  dropped column is less than the COLNO for a LOB column in the
  same table
