Hi all,

I tried to alter a null column of a table into a not null column in the local server using an alter statement. The table is empty. But the query I executed is not giving the actual result.
The query I tried
Code:
ALTER TABLE DEPT1 ALTER COLUMN DEPTNO SET NOT NULL WITH DEFAULT;


the result i got is
Code:
DSNT408I SQLCODE = -104, ERROR:  ILLEGAL SYMBOL "NOT". SOME SYMBOLS THAT MIGHT
         BE LEGAL ARE: CYCLE, NOCYCLE, ORDER, NOCACHE, NOORDER, NOMINVALUE,
         NOMAXVALUE

The version I used is DB2 v8.1

Can any one help me..

Thanks in advance
Raghunathan

I think your DB2 is out of service. Anyway, the manuals are still there. What did you try to resolve this? There's a big clue in the message about what is the SQL processor thinks is wrong with that line, but you need some research.
