The simplest way to fix this involved upgrading the v7.22 instance to v7.31. Under v7.31 the databases could be dbexported. This adds an unnecessary extra step to my migration plan, but it is not that onerous. As an aside, I didn;t call IBM Tech Support because of the aged version of the instance. To their credit, UK Tech Support called me, unprompted, and asked if they could help as the problems are being encounterd in the process of migrating to a supported version. As it happens the workaround is adequate, but the gesture was much appreciated anyway.
