If you are running an interactive session and execute the drop statement within STRSQL then you should be able to respond to that error.
Somehow, I don't think this helps your situation though.

How about creating a 2nd table by selecting only the columns you want to keep from the original table.

Subject: SQL0952 when dropping a column

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
