Issue/Introduction

Why are there no rows in my History Database Table when a DBUTLTY SPILL function is run?

The DBUTLTY function SPILL is not be used in relation to History Table because SPILL does not take any action relating to History.

Instead, the DBUTLTY SPILLOPT function must be used to update the SPILL history table by specifying the keyword HISTORY=.
