Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Db2 Administration Tool for z/OS    *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: This APAR provides enhancements to      *
  *                      improve parser support for index DDL.   *
  ****************************************************************
  Some processes in Db2 Admin Tool accept DDL as input. The DDL is
  parsed to identify the keywords and values, but currently the
  syntax, semantics, and values are not verified. Therefore,
  errors will not be detected until the DDL is applied to Db2 much
  later in the process.
  
  The parser is being enhanced in stages to detect and report
  basic errors in the parsed DDL. This APAR adds the following
  checks for CREATE and ALTER INDEX statements:
   - Check whether an attribute is specified more than once
   - Verify that exclusive options for ALTER INDEX (such as
     REGENERATE ) are not specified with any other option
   - Verify value ranges for some options. For example:
     - DSSIZE is in the range of 1-1024
     - FREEPAGE is in the range of 0-255
