    *                      quality improvements.                   *
    ****************************************************************
    This APAR adds the following improvements and fixes to the ALT
    functionality:
    1. Dropping a primary column on a system-period temporal table
    automatically adjusts the history table and its primary index.
    2. When ALT is used on a system-period temporal table and a WSL
    is generated and submitted, the history table space is returned
    to RW state after completion.
    3. ALT for indexes works correctly for indexes with a double
    quotation mark (") in a schema or name.
    4. For ALT on a table space, ALTER PARTITION statements are
    generated using correct physical partition numbers.
    5. When a partition is split in ALT on a table space, only the
    required statements are generated.
    6. When a BUSINESS_TIME WITHOUT OVERLAPS column is the only
    column in a unique constraint and is dropped by using ALT,
    the WSL contains a correct CREATE TABLE statement.
    7. When several indexes are added to the ALT scope, index names
    are correctly displayed when one of the indexes is being
    renamed.
