Error description

• When an v11.1 db2 client is connected to a downlevel database
  server, then a GET DATABASE CONFIG operation performed on the
  client may incorrectly display the ENCRLIB and ENCROPTS values,
  as described below:
  
  When connected to a v10.1 fixpack4 or later db2 server, or a
  v10.5 fixpack3 or later db2 server, the ENCRLIB and ENCROPTS
  values will never be displayed, even if they are configured on
  the database server.
  
  When connected to a v10.1 fixpack3 or earlier db2 server, or a
  v10.5 fixpack2 or earlier db2 server, or a db2 server from v9.7
  or previous releases, the ENCRLIB and ENCROPTS values will be
  displayed with garbage values, even though they do not exist on
  the database server.
  

Local fix

• Execute the GET DB CONFIG operation directly on the database
  server, or use the DBCFG administrative view or the DB_GET_CFG
  table function to query the database configuration values.
