APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Customer will get the following warning from db2ckupgrade for
  upgrading to v11.1:
  DBT5534W  Discontinued routine upon which the object depends:
  "SYSFUN.ASCII1".
  
  The warning was caused by SYSFUN.ASCII (CHAR) with specificname
  ASCII1 being removed from V11.1 incorrectly. Consequently, when
  upgrading database from any release to V11.1, any user object
  that depends on this particular function will be invalidated.
  

Local fix

• After database upgrade, the user should calls
  SYSPROC.ADMIN_REVALIDATE_DB_OBJECT to revalidate the user object
  so that the user object will pick up and depend on
  SYSFUN.ASCII(VARCHAR) instead.
