DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / A50 - DB2

On a partitioned database environment (DPF),  the execution of 
an ALTER TABLE statement that includes an ADD COLUMN 
operation to add a LONG VARCHAR, LONG VARGRAPHIC, 
BLOB, or XML type column, and also includes an ALTER 
COLUMN operation may result in corruption of the 
table space's object table. 
 
On fix pack 5, the ALTER TABLE command will fail with an 
SQLCODE -901 reporting "No lobID given and not allowed to 
pick" or "No longID given and not allowed to pick", and the 
object table will not be affected.  For example: 
 
SQL0901N  The SQL statement or command failed because of a 
database system error. 
(Reason "No lobID given and not allowed to pick".) 
SQLSTATE=58004 
 
Prior to fix pack 5, the command will appear to be successful 
but may result in corruption of the object table, such that 
subsequent data definition (DDL) statements against that 
table space may result in severe  errors in the db2diag.log 
with messages from function sqldObjTabInsertRID and 
subsequent "Bad Data Page" messages.  For example:

****************************************************************

To prevent this problem, split any vulnerable ALTER TABLE 
statements into two separate statements. Do not use ALTER 
COLUMN and ADD COLUMN of a long char type in the same 
statement. 
 
Prior to fix pack 5, if you suspect you have hit this issue, 
contact DB2 Support for assistance in recovering your 
table.

Problem was first fixed in DB2 UDB Version 10.5 fix pack 7

Replace all ALTER TABLE statements containing both ALTER COLUMN 
and ADD COLUMN with separate statements for each.
