  ****************************************************************
  This APAR provides enhancements and fixes to support
  the new Db2 13 function level 506.
  
  Db2 13 function level 506 introduced the capability to specify
  more than one row in the VALUES form of the INSERT statement.
  This new INSERT syntax is supported by Db2 Admin Tool.
  
  Additionally, starting in Db2 13 function level 506, you can add
  an implicitly hidden ROWID column to a table in a UTS table
  space. This enhancement added support of the ALTER TABLE ADD
  COLUMN statement with ROWID IMPLICITLY HIDDEN by using the AL or
  ALT command. Also, this ALTER operation is supported in Db2
  Object Comparison Tool. If an implicitly hidden ROWID column
  needs to be added to a target table, this change can now be done
  by using an ALTER statement rather than dropping and recreating
  the object.
  
  Db2 13 function level 506 introduced the NOKEYDELETE option for
  the LOAD utility to improve the elapsed time and availability
  when clearing data partitions.
  Db2 Admin Tool supports this new keyword on the
  Specify Utility Options - LOAD (ADB2UTC) panel. As an additional
  enhancement, when <DUMMY> is specified in the 'Unloaded data'
  field, Db2 Admin Tool prompts the user to unload the data as a
  backup and, if NOKEYDELETE is also specified to empty
  a partition, Db2 Admin Tool can optionally generate REORG INDEX
  utility statements to clear the resulting RBDPM status on the
  logical partitions of the NPSI.
  
  Also, as a part of the support for the LOAD generation for
  a partition, KEEP_EMPTY_PAGES and COPYDICTIONARY options were
  added on the ADB2UTC panel.
