Prohibit inoperative packages after drop function

DROP and CREATE of userdefined function KZZ.LEXSORT set packages KIS##01 and KIS##30 to inoperative.

Error in IMS region BOKMSG8F:
SQLCODE = -904, ERROR: UNSUCCESSFUL EXECUTION CAUSED BY AN
UNAVAILABLE RESOURCE. REASON 00E30305, TYPE OF RESOURCE 00000801, AND
RESOURCE NAME K8F.KIS##30.1921C5390AEF1DF8

This change (drop and create UDF) was done on all productive DB2 subsystems and in all systems the packages became inoperative.
Therefore all customers (all banks) suffered from this error, till the
packages were rebound manually.
