SQL0104N error while trying to use ADMIN_MOVE_TABLE for a range partitioned table.

The following error message can be seen:

SQL0104N An unexpected token "-" was found following "S_1003 STARTING(2010".
Expected tokens may include: ",". SQLSTATE=42601

The error messages seems to indicate a syntax error in a part of the range partition clause.

Test case:

db2 "CREATE TABLE DB2INST1.VINNY  (col1 BIGINT NOT NULL, col2 CHAR(5) NOT NULL, col3 DATE, col4 CHAR(1), col5 VARCHAR(20)) COMPRESS YES DISTRIBUTE BY HASH(col1)
     PARTITION BY RANGE("col3")
     PART "RVRS_1003" STARTING('2010-03-01') ENDING('2010-04-01') EXCLUSIVE IN "RCIRVRS",
     PART "RVRS_1004" STARTING('2010-04-01') ENDING('2010-05-01') EXCLUSIVE IN "RCIRVRS",
     PART "RVRS_1005" STARTING('2010-05-01') ENDING('2010-06-01') EXCLUSIVE IN "RCIRVRS",
     PART "RVRS_1006" STARTING('2010-06-01') ENDING('2010-07-01') EXCLUSIVE IN "RCIRVRS")"

SQL0104N  An unexpected token "-" was found following "S_1003 STARTING(2010".
Expected tokens may include:  ",".  SQLSTATE=42601

The syntax problem with the date range can be eliminated by using two single quotes for the date ranges in the ADMIN_MOVE_TABLE procedure as below:

CALL SYSPROC.ADMIN_MOVE_TABLE(
'DB2INST1',
'VINNY',
'A_RCIRVRS',
'A_RCIRVRS',
'A_RCIRVRS',
' ',
' ',
'PARTITION BY RANGE("col3")
(PART RVRS_1003 STARTING ''2010-03-01'' ENDING ''2010-04-01'' EXCLUSIVE IN "A_RCIRVRS",
PART RVRS_1004 STARTING ''2010-04-01'' ENDING ''2010-05-01'' EXCLUSIVE IN "A_RCIRVRS",
PART RVRS_1005 STARTING ''2010-05-01'' ENDING ''2010-06-01'' EXCLUSIVE IN "A_RCIRVRS",
PART RVRS_1006 STARTING ''2010-06-01'' ENDING ''2010-07-01'' EXCLUSIVE IN "A_RCIRVRS",
'',
'',
'MOVE')
