systools.db2look_info table for  SYSPROC.ALTOBJ() to refer. 
 
For example, if you call system procedure SYSPROC.ALTOBJ to 
alter table TABLEA: 
 
CALL SYSPROC.ALTOBJ('APPLY_CONTINUE_ON_ERROR', 'CREATE TABLE 
DB2INST1.TABLEA(COL1 DECIMAL(5, 0), COL2 VARCHAR (20))', -1, ? 
); 
 
, then after it recreated the table TABLEA, you will lose all 
the COMMENTs for table TABLEA, as well as its columns' COMMENTs.
