Add support for passing rowchangetimestampoverride filetype modifiers to admin_move_table(RIMS)

My customer, Deutscher Sparkassenverlag, makes extensive use of the admin_move_table utility and uses the rowchangetimetamp feature on columns in several thousand large tables with thousand millions of rows. These rowchangetimestamp will be used for in-line processing of sensitive data in their production application. Unfortunately, admin_move_table updates every rowchangetimestamp column and cannot be used to online load their tables to new tabelspaces (with new features like 'reduce max' etc.). Export/import/load is no option for customer as this requires large maintenance windows . In the ADMIN_CMD call the only passed modified is really MODIFIED BY ANYORDER from Otm::copyUseLoad Even though the ADMIN_CMD allows for modified by rowchangetimestampoverride to be passed to it: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/db2luw/v9r7/topic/com.ibm.db2.luw.sql.rtn.doc/doc/r0023577.html Please add especially the rowchangetimestampoverride filetype modifier but also identityoverride, generatedoverride .... to be able to move the tables online but keep existing rowchangetimestamps etc. using ADMIN_MOVE_TABLE.

    If you use ALLOW_READ_ACCESS and COPY_USE_LOAD option of ADMIN_MOVE_TABLE, the row change timestamp column content of source table gets preserved during the move.

    AMT is not able to preserve the rowchangetimestamp during REPLAY is not possible, therefore ALLOW_READ_ACCESS is required.
