have i got the syntax correct for the truncate command, can i run it all on one command?
start by showing the actual TRUNCATE command you are issuing, and the actual error you are getting back, that removes guessing from the process.
I assume that you are trying to truncate more than one table with a single TRUNCATE command? That does not work.
See also the IBM document you shared earlier, that does show TRUNCATE for individual tables one at a time.
You may also want to check the reference information on TRUNCATE:
