Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The DB2 Administration Tool for z/OS panels ADB21D "Databases",
  panel ADB21S "Table Spaces" and panel ADB21T "Tables, Views, and
  Aliases" list "RO" as a valid line command when the "?" line
  command is used.
  Using the RO line command or selecting the "RO" line command
  from panel ADB20@ "Line Commands" results in a message:
     Invalid line command
  and
  The specified line command is only valid for Ownertype 'L'
  

Local fix

• Do not use the RO line command
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of DB2 Administration Tool for z/OS.   *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: RO line command results in an invalid   *
  *                      line command message, even though RO    *
  *                      is listed in the line command table.    *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply The PTF.                               *
  ****************************************************************
  The line commands shown on the panel or it's extension panel
  apply to the entire panel, not individual rows. Since the
  objects in each row have varying attributes, not all the line
  commands listed in the panel are applicable to every object.
  When a line command is not valid in the context of a particular
  object, an error message (which varies with the line command) is
  issued.
  
  The RO line command shows information about roles when they are
  owners of the selected object. If the object does not have a
  role as owner, the line command is not applicable. When issued
  on such an object, the short message "ADB336E Invalid line
  command" is displayed. The long message elaborates further,
  referring to the catalog value that indicates if a role is the
  owner. For example, on ADB21T, if SYSTABLES.OWNERTYPE is not 'L'
  for the selected object, RO results in the following long
  message: "ADB336E The specified line command is only valid for
  Ownertype 'L' (Role)".
  

Problem conclusion

• Message ADB336E is changed to display the more accurate short
  message "Not applicable", and the long message is changed to
  "The specified line command is only applicable when Ownertype
  = 'L'  (Role)". Also, the help panel shown for the line command
  extension panels is enhanced to indicate that not all line
  commands are applicable to all objects. In addition, the
  DB2 Administration Tool for z/OS User's Guide and Reference is
  updated to include a similar clarification.
