DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / A50 - DB2

When you call the procedure SYSPROC.ADMIN_MOVE_TABLE with the 
MOVE option, if the second argument matches the name of some 
table except that the argument has extra spaces at the end or 
the name of the table has extra spaces at the end, the table 
gets renamed. 
 
For example: 
 
1) Stripping spaces from the end of the table name. 
 
--Create a table called "TAB1 " 
--(with a space at the end of the name). 
db2 'create table schema1."TAB1 "(col1 int)' 
 
--Call SYSPROC.ADMIN_MOVE_TABLE passing 'TAB1' 
--as the second argument (without the space at the end). 
db2 "call sysproc.admin_move_table ('SCHEMA1', 'TAB1', '' , 
 '' ,'', '',  '' , '', '', '', 'move' )" 
 
--Now in the system catalog the space has been stripped off 
--the end of the name. 
db2 "select substr(tabname, 1, 20), length(tabname), 
 substr(hex(tabname), 1, 20) from syscat.tables 
 where tabname like 'TAB1%'" 
 
 1                    2           3 
 -------------------- ----------- -------------------- 
 TAB1                           4 54414231 
 
   1 record(s) selected. 
 
 
2) Adding spaces to the end of the table name. 
 
--Create a table called TAB1 without any spaces at the end 
--of the name. 
db2 "create table schema1.tab1(col1 int)" 
 
--Call SYSPROC.ADMIN_MOVE_TABLE passing 'TAB1 ' 
--as the second argument (with an extra space at the end). 
db2 "call sysproc.admin_move_table ('SCHEMA1', 'TAB1 ', 
 '' ,'' ,'', '',  '' , '', '', '', 'move' )" 
 
--Now in the system catalog the extra space has been added 
--to the end of the table name. 
db2 "select substr(tabname, 1, 20), length(tabname), 
 substr(hex(tabname), 1, 20) from syscat.tables 
 where tabname like 'TAB1%'" 
 
 
1                    2           3 
-------------------- ----------- -------------------- 
TAB1                           5 5441423120 
 
  1 record(s) selected.
