PH66728: AN ERROR IS ENCOUNTERED WHEN DROPPING A COLUMN IN A TABLE WHERE THE COLUMN IS A PART OF AN INDEX.

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When a column that is part of an index is dropped, the
  associated index should also be removed. Previously, the DevOps
  experience did not support index drop functionality. To address
  this limitation, DevOps has been enhanced to support index
  deletion and to display appropriate user messages when such
  actions are performed.
  
  Affected Users: DevOps administrators and users working on edit
  DDL operations (including drop columns) in DevOps Experience.
