Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: All users of File Manager and File Manager   *
  *                 DB2 component.                               *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: 1. In the File Manager DB2 component    *
  *                      Object List Utility, the display of     *
  *                      columns for an index is incorrect when  *
  *                      one or more columns in the index is     *
  *                      an expression.  A similar problem       *
  *                      exists with the KEY command when issued *
  *                      against an index, or the XC command,    *
  *                      when issued against a table.            *
  *                      2. The text for an SQL statement may    *
  *                      be truncated when displayed using the   *
  *                      SQL command.                            *
  *                      3. In the File Manager editor,          *
  *                      duplicate fields/column names when all  *
  *                      displayable fields/columns are marked   *
  *                      as HELD.                                *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF.                      *
  ****************************************************************
  1. The SQL statements used to generate the display showing the:
  a. column(s) for an index
  b. keys for an index
  c. indexes and columns defined against a table
  do not accommodate index expressions.
  2. The last two characters of the SQL statement are not shown.
  3. A logic error occurs when all visible fields are marked as
  HELD, which can result in duplicate fields/columns being
  displayed.
