CATENFM

The CATENFM online utility enables a DB2® subsystem to enter DB2 DB2 10 enabling-new-function mode and DB2 10 new-function mode. It also enables a DB2 subsystem to return to enabling-new-function mode from new-function mode.

All new DB2 10 functions are unavailable when the subsystem is in conversion mode or enabling-new-function mode.

Output

Output from the CATENFM utility consists of:
  • If you specify the CONVERT option, the CATENFM utility converts table spaces during the enabling-new-function mode process.
  • If you specify the ALTER option, some objects in the DB2 catalog are altered or created.
  • For other options, there is no output.
