PM33985: PANEL ADB26CFW "ALTER EXTERNAL SCALAR FUNCTIONS" DOES NOT SHOW EXISTING RUNTIME OPTIONS.

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The DB2 Administration Tool for z/OS' panel ADB26CFW "Alter
  External Scalar Function" does not show the existing runtime
  options.
  

Local fix

• Use the "I" line command against the object as panel ADB21FI1
  "Interpretation of an Object in SYSROUTINES" to obtain the
  current runtime options. As the existing runtimes options will
  not be lost when an ALTER is issued there is no need to reenter
  them on the panel.
