Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Admin users that use ALC to change the       *
  *                 limitkey ranges of a partitioned table.      *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When using the ALTPART command and      *
  *                      changing the limitkey ranges such that  *
  *                      the new definition for a partition      *

  *                      boundary, the ALTER TABLE ALTER PART    *
  *                      statements were built in the improper   *
  *                      order, resulting in SQLCODE636.         *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: APPLY the PTF.                               *
  ****************************************************************
  When changing the limitkey using the ALTER statements, the
  sequence of the ALTER TABLE ALTER PART statements must maintain
  limitkey ranges that do not overlap one another.  The ALTER
  TABLE statements may have to be performed in a specific order.
