APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When executing Runstats on a range partitioned table with one or
  more partitioned indexes, the index stats can be incorrect when
  the index sampling option is used.
  This issue mostly occurs for large number of rows in a
  partitioned table.
  
  As a result, Runstats might calculate an incorrect table Card.
  

Local fix

• Don't use the INDEXSAMPLE option or use an index sampling rate
  less than the table sampling rate. The latter will only ensure
  the cardinality statistic is calculated correctly.
