Error description
Allow REORG with USE PROFILE for column drop
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Db2 Administration Tool for z/OS * * and Db2 Object Comparison Tool for z/OS * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: This APAR adds support for the USE * * PROFILE option for a REORG utility * * operation that materializes DROP * * COLUMN. * * * **************************************************************** Previously, REORG USE PROFILE failed if REORG materialized a drop of a column that is referenced in the profile. As a workaround for this behavior, Object Compare removed USE PROFILE for REORG if a column is dropped from a table. Db2 APAR PH65845 fixed this problem, so USE PROFILE can be used in the REORG operation that materializes DROP COLUMN. With this APAR, Object Compare does not remove USE PROFILE for REORG if a column is dropped from a table.
Problem conclusion
The enhancement has been delivered.
