I am trying to drop a few columns from a work file. I can only delete the
fields after the file is built.

When I run ALTER TABLE QTEMP.XXX DROP COLUMN X1, I get SQL0952.
I displayed the job log and see the drop triggers a message CPD32CC that
cannot be displayed advising that data will be lost. The system cancels the
job.

I added CHGJOB INQMSGRPY(*SYSREPL).and added an entry monitoring for
CPD32CC which is displayed in the job log.

This did not help.

What other suggestions are there?

TIA, Darryl Freinkel
