Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Db2 Administration Tool for z/OS    *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: SQLCODE -104 occurs on panel ADB21TA    *
    *                      when using an uncommon CCSID.           *
    ****************************************************************
    When a user selects ADD COLUMN on panel ADB21TA, SELECT
    processing can return SQLCODE -104 if the CCSID in use does not
    support lowercase letters in the Db2 SELECT statement (for
    example, CCISD 1399). Similar issues on other panels have also
    been fixed.
