Shankar,
What is the data type of that partition column ? Because for data type other than CHAR or VARCHAR DB2 tries to store it in some internal format.
Like for example, the index INEXAGTC has 10 partition and following are the column specifications,
| Code: |
DSTO_NO CHAR 10
DSTR_NO CHAR 10
CASE_POL_NO CHAR 15
AGTC_UPD_TS TIMESTAMP |
When i look-up in the SYSINDEXPART, i get the following values for the column limitkey.
| Code: |
LSW 5500010003714492X .. . ..Î..
LSW 5500010077595344X .... .....
LSW 5500031488653117X .... . ø..
LSW 5500071139703858X .... . .Ëè
LSW 5500077590758546X .... èãØçë
021 38286 AMF NW A .... ê Îñ
111 32097 AMF CWGI C .... ..Ã`ñ
318 47550 L0190470 .......Ø.é
6AC 44755 704980900 .. . .. I
996 55956 N5024469 .. ..ñ.o..

CHAR datatypes are visible but timestamp values are not visible.
But, when i see it in hex, timestamp values are visible,
| Code: |

Without knowing the internal format, its pretty hard to convert it manually. But, DB2 tools like Platinum or others can help you with that.

Per the DB2 Manual, the LIMITKEY is stored in INTERNAL-format in the SYSINDEXPART table:
"LIMITKEY VARCHAR(512) NOT NULL WITH DEFAULT FOR BIT DATA
The high value of the limit key of the partition in an internal format. An empty string if the index is not partitioned or for a data-partitioned secondary index (DPSI). If any column of the key has a field procedure, the internal format is the encoded form of the value.""
To see the EXTERNAL-format, see LIMITKEY in the SYSTABLEPART table:
"LIMITKEY VARCHAR(765) NOT NULL
The high value of the partition in external format. If the table space was converted from index-controlled partitioning to table-controlled partitioning, the value is the highest possible value for an ascending key, or the lowest possible value for a descending key. If the table space is not partitioned, the value is an empty string." |
