DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / A10 - DB2

The update of statistics of SYSSTAT.COLDIST.COLVALUE generated 
via db2look -m (mimic mode) may fail with SQL0104N error. 
 
The same output looks as follows: 
 
UPDATE SYSSTAT.COLDIST 
SET COLVALUE=''<value>  '', 
      VALCOUNT=<value> 
WHERE COLNAME = '<value>' AND TABNAME = 
'<value>' AND TABSCHEMA = '<SCHEMA>    ' AND TYPE      = 
'<value>' AND SEQNO     =  <value> 
DB21034E  The command was processed as an SQL statement because 
it was not a valid Command Line Processor command.  During SQL 
processing it 
returned: 
SQL0104N  An unexpected token "<value>" was found following 
"DIST SET 
COLVALUE=''".  Expected tokens may include:  "CONCAT". 
SQLSTATE=42601 
 
This occurs because of character wrapping for COLVALUE: db2look 
-m adds 
two single quotes instead of one single quote.

As a temporary workaround: 
 
 
Remove one single quote for the COLVALUE literal in 
the update statement, then run the statement again: 
 
UPDATE SYSSTAT.COLDIST SET COLVALUE='<value>  ', 
VALCOUNT=<value> WHERE COLNAME = '<value>' AND TABNAME =
