COLUMN VIA ALTER TABLE STATEMENT

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2
Problem description:
When trying to shrink the length of a VARCHAR type column, you 
may receive a SQL0901N. 
 
For example, 
create table t(c1 varchar(10)) 
 
insert into t(c1) values ('abcde     ') 
 
alter table t alter column c1 set data type varchar(5) 
DB21034E  The command was processed as an SQL statement because 
it was not a valid Command Line Processor command.  During SQL 
processing it returned: 
SQL0901N  The SQL statement failed because of a non-severe 
system error. Subsequent SQL statements can be processed. 
(Reason "Unexpected data partitioning PD version number".)
