Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of the DB2 Administration Tool for     *
  *                 z/OS who use the Generate (GEN) or DDL       *
  *                 functions that generate DDL for DB2 10 for   *
  *                 Functions, Procedures, or User-defined data  *
  *                 types that were created prior to DB2 10,     *
  *                 and the object(s) uses the TIMESTAMP data    *
  *                 type.                                        *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Prior to DB2 10 New Function Mode       *
  *                      (NFM), DB2 stored in the DB2 catalog    *
  *                      a length of 10 and scale of 0 for a     *
  *                      TIMESTAMP data type.  In DB2 10 NFM,    *
  *                      DB2 considers these values from prior   *
  *                      releases to actually be a TIMESTAMP     *
  *                      with scale of 6.  The DB2 Admin Tool    *
  *                      GEN and DDL functions generated DDL     *
  *                      for DB2 10 as if the TIMESTAMP data     *
  *                      type had a scale of 0.  The correct     *
  *                      TIMESTAMP scale is 6.                   *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  When generating DDL for DB2 10 for a function or procedure that
  was created prior to DB2 10, the DDL produced has TIMESTAMP(0)
  instead of TIMESTAMP(6).
