The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

I recall creating a stored procedure once or twice, to resolve that
same issue for my scripts. I will post one I just created, in response
to a JHHL message, after some testing to see if it is somewhat
functional; I would think there should be some examples already on the
web, but I did not locate any with some variety of searches.
Apparently until v5r3 where the severity level of -204 for DROP was
reduced to 20; or so implied here:

"in the news group "ibm.software.db2.os400" he asked the same question
and Kent Milligan answered:
<i>RUNSQLSTM was enhanced in V5R3 to ignore drop errors when an error
level of 20 is specified</i>"
The docs however seems not to have changed until v5r4, so I am not
sure about the above claim. The v5r4m0 docs:
Using the SQL statement processor:
"Execution of statements after errors occur"
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v5r4/topic/sqlp/rbafyexecutestmt.htm
"If a statement returns an error with a severity higher than the value
specified for the error level (ERRLVL) parameter of the Run SQL
Statements (RUNSQLSTM) command, the statement fails.
<Start of change>>The rest of the statements in the source are parsed to
check for syntax errors, and will not be run. Most SQL errors have a
severity of 30. If you want to continue processing after an SQL
statement fails, set the ERRLVL parameter of the RUNSQLSTM command to 30
or higher. DROP statements issue a severity level 20 error if the object
is not found to be dropped. Setting the ERRLVL parameter to have a value
of 20 allows you to ignore these errors for DROP statements while not
allowing processing to continue for other higher severity errors.<<End
