What do you want, miracles? :-)
As you probably remember, DELETE ANY TABLE was indeed the privilege required to issue
a TRUNCATE command, when TRUNCATE first became available (release 7.0, I think). They
changed it early on to DROP ANY TABLE (7.1?), but the documentation has apparently
been caste in stone. Sigh. Such is life in the big city of IS.

Indeed, the Concepts Manual affirms this in Chapter 4.
So why can't they correct the information regarding TRUNCATE?
Just after the section on extent allocation, the book states that
the privilige needed to TRUNCATE a table is DELETE ANY TABLE, when
in fact it should be DROP ANY TABLE.
