DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2

When the same ALTER TABLE ... ALTER COLUMN SET DATA TYPE is 
called multiple times it may return a SQL0670N on subsequent 
attempts if the following two conditions are met as part of 
the call: 
 
- the new data type specified is identical to the existing 
  data type of the column 
- the data type is either DECIMAL or TIMESTAMP 
 
Example: 
 
$ db2 "create table tbl4k(col1 decimal(18,0))" 
DB20000I  The SQL command completed successfully. 
 
$ db2 "alter table tbl4k alter column col1 set data type 
decimal(18,0)" 
 
DB20000I  The SQL command completed successfully. 
 
$ db2 "alter table tbl4k alter column col1 set data type 
decimal(18,0)" 
DB21034E  The command was processed as an SQL statement 
because it was not a valid Command Line Processor command. 
During SQL processing it returned: 
SQL0670N  The row length of the table exceeded a limit of 
"4005" bytes. (Tablespace "USERSPACE1".)  SQLSTATE=54010 
 
- This APAR will remove the extraneous error message from 
  being presented on the subsequent executions of the command. 
- The error itself can be ignored as this statement has no 
effect 
  on column definition, even if successful.
