On an IBM i 7.2 lpar I did the following
CRTUSRPRF DUMMY (only those parameters)
Signed on as DUMMY.
STRSQL
CREATE PROCEDURE ROB/DELETEME NOT DETERMINISTIC CONTAINS SQL
EXTERNAL PARAMETER STYLE GENERAL
Procedure DELETEME was created in ROB.
drop procedure rob/deleteme
DROP PROCEDURE statement complete.
F3

DSPOBJAUT OBJ(SYSPARMS) OBJTYPE(*FILE)
*PUBLIC is *CHANGE
But you have to understand NO ONE but an IBM API can update or change this
table!
DSPFD SYSPARMS
Allow read operation . . . . . . . . . . . : Yes
Allow write operation . . . . . . . . . . . : No
Allow update operation . . . . . . . . . . : ALWUPD *NO
Allow delete operation . . . . . . . . . . : ALWDLT *NO

They do the same trick on the history table for a temporal table.

So when you do the CREATE PROCEDURE or DROP PROCEDURE it is an IBM API
which updates this table.

Someone got into your system and just totally buggered it up without
knowing what they were doing.
